Yea I'm really happy on how it came out I don't want to go any hire.

I just need to tie up some loose end like shocks, bump stops , a little cutting and front driveline.
After all that when I get some more money saved i want to put in dual cases.

I never have, I don't run lock tight either. Just torque them down hard.

Red Solo Truck · « **Reply #69 on:** May 12, 2012, 06:53:03 PM »

Still not to sure what to do about my wheel spacer.

toyotech · « **Reply #70 on:** May 12, 2012, 09:37:07 PM »

keep it. i havent any problems with mine. besides how many threads have you see where people said their wheel spacer fell off. i know tons of people that run them. if your worry. throw some lock tight on them

86yoter · « **Reply #71 on:** May 13, 2012, 04:28:02 AM »

i haven't taken mine off yet and i drive some miles. they are not loose.

Dingman. · « **Reply #72 on:** May 13, 2012, 10:40:08 AM »

I always lock tight them on. I just had to take them off to swap rotors and my impact gun could barely break them loose.

Backing plate eliminators? You did it the hard way lol. I just drilled out the spot welds holding the backing plate, came out really clean.

you lose like 1/16in thickness doing that.

Red Solo Truck · « **Reply #76 on:** May 13, 2012, 09:16:41 PM »

So when i put my wheel spacers on i used loctight and i impacted the

out of them...... this is what happend 2 days later on the freeway off ramp.

nisota · « **Reply #77 on:** May 13, 2012, 09:27:11 PM »

Holy crap thats a really bad deal. Makes me scared to run wheel spacers.

Mudfanatic92 · « **Reply #78 on:** May 13, 2012, 09:33:29 PM »

OH snap!! Now im nervous to run wheel spacers.... yikes! And it happened to both sides?!

zebracrawler · « **Reply #79 on:** May 13, 2012, 09:35:41 PM »

its chill just drive around on your rotor haha

Red Solo Truck · « **Reply #80 on:** May 13, 2012, 09:40:24 PM »

yea all 6 of the nuts on the spacer backed off. i pulled over because i fell a really bad vibation when i breaked and i got out to look at everthing and i didnt see anything major so i was gunna limp it off the freeway so i could crawl under it, and ass soon as started going my dam tired just falls off

No just happend to the driver side, but i wasnt gunna chance drive the rest of the way with it comeing off to.

nisota · « **Reply #82 on:** May 13, 2012, 09:45:49 PM »

I ran them before on a 2wd & I thought i just didnt torque them down good but apparently the more I read maybe wheel spacers are just bad news.

Nimyad · « **Reply #83 on:** May 13, 2012, 10:11:16 PM »

Man that's crazy. I've put over 20k miles on truck since jan last year and my spacers havn't come loose at all.

Red Solo Truck · « **Reply #84 on:** May 13, 2012, 10:14:57 PM »

i think i might just put a small tack weld on each stud

As much as I did I didn't harm the studs.

91 ex-cab · « **Reply #88 on:** May 14, 2012, 02:22:17 AM »

I still think the studs are to short, I didn't look at them until on the freeway when the tire came off. I also didn't see them torqued all the way down so maybe there's more stud there than I think. Truck looks

though.

Tankard · « **Reply #89 on:** May 14, 2012, 07:57:34 AM »

Whoa!

That's no good, glad you didn't get injured.

In the past I have used fingernail polish for all my DD wheel spacers with zero issues. Impacting the manure out of them is more than likely where things went wrong. The torque specs are under 85 ft. lbs. (check a manual for the correct torque numbers). If you use a torque wrench it will allow for an even torque on all those itty-bitty studs.

Like 83crawler said "f wheel spacers" they should be steel.

Over torquing a stud usually stretches it and makes it untrustworthy. I recommend new studs with proper torque specs and lock tight and you should be good
