stock front links moved to the rear? how is that possible - they're only like 6" long

 

Wait...you're right. It was the stock rears I moved to the front. ...and now that I think about it, those rear links provided were really long. BUT it was scrubbin the passenger side rear wheel. Sorry for the retard moment. They seem to come more frequently these days.

 

yeah, the new TF links provided are really long and you can get rubbing using them. i just saw that the OP has a skyjacker kit and wasn't even sure if it came with new links. as far as your rubbing the passenger side wheel goes, i'm surprised. being that your axle would have shifted over to the passenger side, you should of had more room there.

 

The spacers I ordered, were off Ebay. That pretty much says it all. The inner wall of one of the bolts off the spacer had a hair line crack in it after a trip we took, so for a cheap fix i put some jb weld on it and it seemed to be ok for the time being.well after a while i guess it got worse, and that is when my wheel made some wrong noises to make it seem like it was going to pop off when wheeling one after noon . After taking the wheel off, the crack made it clear across three bolts where two of them were not even attached anymore. It scared the crap out of me and has scarred me for life.

 

yeah, i suppose ebay would say it all. like i said, i have been running spidertrax for a long time and have never had a problem with them...



here is an installation write-up that i did for them

Another option is to flip the extended rear swaybar links to the inside to clear the inner lip of the rear wheel. Not saying it's recommended but I have done it along with others with no issues.

 

I ran my spacers (Spidertrax) for over a year with no issues.
I checked them regularly, just as your suppose to, and well..... I did break some lugs off so does happen every once in a while.
Spidertrax did jump all over the fix, sending me all new lugs to install, but the damage was done and I couldn't trust them anymore. Soooo I took them off.
Breakage does happen, they aren't perfect. Spidertrax customer service was awesome! I did have the studs checked out by a professional for failure analyses and it was found to be metal fatigue ( I have pis if anyone wants to see them).
It was not due to over torquing as some might think, but because the metal wasn't right.

My next step will be new rims with the correct backspacing, although some would say there are issues with that as well (wheel bearing??).

Just my thoughts....
