My jk got t-boned by a lincoln doin about 50mph, I say that because it threw the rear end of the jk up in the air and spun me 180 degrees, damage to the Lincoln(totaled) to the jk (5grand) The spidertrax spacers were barely dinged when it wrapped the steel crager around it.

I have bought 2 spidertrax spacers, and 2 hub centric spacers off of e-bay. They both seem like quality pieces...

There must be thousands of these spacers out there aftermarket and the Spidertrax. This being said does anyone know of any failures of any kind that don't involve installation mistakes??

If there ever has been a failure it must have been a hair raising experience to say the least.
