    your spacer" lift " has nothing to do with the wheel studs.

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    I'm guessing he put on spidertrax or other wheel spacers. I would suggest a shanked lug nut.

    no...the wheel studs and hub area are non affected by spacer lifts, diff drops, etc.

    Chances are they were that way when you removed the wheels, you just didn't notice it.

    I would. Your lug nuts must have at least the depth of the diameter of the studs or you risk the lugs failing under serious load. And my guess is with the lift on, you're going to get a bit more ambitious with bumps etc.

    Fix it right and at the lest, get shanked lugs, or longer studs.

    No really, if you look closely, the back of the wheel studs ARE connected to the top of the shock. As you lengthen the shock with the spacer, it pulls on the wheel stud, making it appear shorter. :D
