I've been running 1" spacers for two years now and no issues. Just remenber lock-tite is your friend and remember to check them every so often to make sure they seated correctly then don't worry about them.

well i'm ordering them either today or tommorw. will it be a problem that i'm only running them up front. since i don't really have the money for the back at the moment and what about my skid plate why is the diff drop making it so it won't go back on

No. I only have them up front. I didn't need them for the rear. You'll like it your truck will track better through curves and cornering.

Did I misunderstand something? If so pics if you can |

no thats what i did but the studs on the spacer are a half inch longer then the stock ones and the new nuts that came with the spacer only go about halfway on the studs do to the thickness of the spacer. I'll try and get pics up tommorw. I drove it a lil today and it seemed to ride fine. I'm just wonderin if i should get new studs that are longer.

The factory studs should be near flush with the face of the spacer. You should be able to slide your hand across the surface and NOT feel the factory studs.(I hope this made sense).

yea i understand what your saying but they don't they are about 3/4 inch inside of the spacer so the nut bottoms out on the spacer about half way to 3/4 through my spacers are 1 1/2 though so maybe i need to replace the studs
