    ive used strictly ebay spacers. because metal is metal. Hub centric, torque to spec. No big deal. 6 vehicles strong never an issue.

    thanks, and yup, im still good for the 22nd only damage was my back fender got smashed in

    im am seriously lucky that it happened on a soft dirt road doing 35...and not the asphalt doing 70+. If i wasnt on the trail, my rear axle and drum would be completely destroyed...but since it was soft dirt as you can see in the first pic it just dug into the dirt and popped the drum cover off.

    with something like spacers, i like brand names, just my preference...but its all in putting the correct torque to each nut as you can see what happened
