Finally found some quality American made adapters for my 2008 SD wheels. Put them on last night and I love the way the truck sits and how the wheels and tires aren't sucked in. I'll post pics as soon as I can get my phone or work computer to cooperate with me.

The worst part about "mods" like this are that after you buy and install them instead of "Wow, look how much cooler it looks!", you get "Ok, great back to square one... damnit.".

Yeah, need to install the caps for the finishing touch. Then it's onto "What can I afford next?..."

Looks great! Do you have a link to wheel adapters? Did you have to trim/shorten the original wheel studs?

The guys there were helpful and knowledgeable. Since I went with the 2" there was no trimming of the factory studs needed. Ordered, shipped and received in about a week.
Thanks by the way!

The BORA just not anodized, it was quicker that way. Wife even commented she thought it handled a bit better.

Looking at the Boras also. Read somewhere there was a front and rear spacer. Did you run into that with yours.
Looked at some others that was recommended here but they were $740 for 4. I thought that was kinda high. Those guys at the tractor and truck pull close to my house use cheap alum spacers and adapters, I've never seen them have an issue, but I've seen them spatter some rear ends and trannys

I used the eBay spacers for over a year with no issues and would recommend them for the price. At 1/4 the cost you can't beat it

Thanks for posting the info. one question, did the spacers come with the lugnuts too? the description kind of makes it sound like it does. If they didn't where did you get your lugnuts?
