WHEEL SPACERS

[MANGO]

Thanks 1tymz!
That's what I figured! Thanks for clarifying that. At least that tells me I'm not slowly losing my mind.

James,
Thanks for double checking.


What's making me have second thoughts about installing the spacers is the eventual use of the DRA bolts to now hold the wheel to the hub.

1. The DRA silver bolts are smaller, shorter, and have a much smaller countersunk
head compared to the factory black bolts. Given the weight of the wheel + tire
and the truck itself, I'm afraid one if not two or so of the DRA bolts will unseat or
worse, shear off. There's just not enough thread there it looks like since they're
so short.

2. Afterall, according to the instructions, H&R expects you to use your factory black
bolts to still hold the wheel to the spacer/hub and not the adapted reverse install

3. The DRA bolts are so short with such a smaller head that I can't even hand tighten
them in the wheel bolt holes without losing my finger grip on them. Once they're
fully threaded in, they're so short and so far in, visually the wheel looks like it's not
even held on by bolts at all. Looking at the spacer with the threaded cavity where these bolts go into, it looks like there's more room for a longer bolt.

So I guess my questions are:

1. Is H&R aware of the typo on their instructions sheet?
2. If so, do they actually endorse using the smaller DRA bolts that came with their
spacers to mount the wheel to the resulting spacer/hub?
3. Or do the original instructions stand and are the factory black bolts really meant to
hold the wheel to the spacer afterall? Which means the install will not work.


Time to give H&R R and D a call.......
