    I'm going to be running them. Put them on tighten to spec, run them a day or two then retighten them to spec. Should be fine after that.

    ^ I hope that's not true :(. I ordered a set of 1" bora spacers for the group buy. I like the look of a little bit of tire sticking out the side.

    As i understand it the spacers just put more stress on the axle.

    It causes the moment force to increase. Try holding 20 lbs with your arm bent close to you. Then hold is out as far from you as possible. Feels heavier? Thats the moment force, a product of mass times the distance from the anchor point. That is basically what the wheel spacers do force-wise.

    That said, they probably arent any worse than adding a lift as far as wear on parts. :)

    The biggest thing is to just make sure you're always property torqued. Lots of guys run them and jump their trucks. None of us should have any issues.
