Anyone used trail sport unlimited spacers f250?

Looking at buying these wheel spacers for my 04 f250 up front because of rubbing on the leaf springs with 35's. Anyone used them? Made by Trail sport unlimited. Only issue I see is they aren't hubcentric. I spoke with a guy named Billy there who sounded really knowledgeable and he said it's near impossible to make hubcentric ones for the super duty because you would need to pull the axles in rear to put them on due to the tolerances being so tight with the full floaters. He said the hubcentric lip would be so small that it may break off. I actually only need them with the fronts so I 'm unsure. Also, any recommendations on how wide I need on an 04 harley f250 6" icon lift stock 18x8 harley wheels with pro comp 325/75/18? Rubs pretty bad on the leafs but I don't think I need full 2" spacers. They also make a 1/2" slip on style spacer out of billet that they say is worthy. Basically, with their spacers, Billy said to put it on with two acorn nuts to center it, then put the other 6 flat lugs on, torque to specs, then put the last two on. He said it won't move. These are only $119 for two spacers as opposed to Fred Goske ones that are $340. HE says Fred's are awesome but the one they sell are of the same quality due to making them in bulk rather than one by one. Thanks
(2) brand new spacers, made from ultra-strong 6061 Billet aluminum

Grade 8 studs (pre-installed)

Installation lug nuts that match the spacer's studs

I cant say I've used them but it sounds rough to me. If those are half the price and are really still the same quality as the "good" ones it'd be great. One thing's for sure, the concequenses of failure are pretty stiff just to save a few hundred dollars=just one humble man's opinion.
