How much torque did you put on the lugs when you installed the spacers?

I've gone MAYBE 20 miles since I put them on, and I torqued them per the installation manual. I'm gonna call them today and see what kind of guarantee they have. Hopefully I won't be walking for too long.

At least you pulled into the "adult store" parking lot and had some place to go until the tow truck came.

Ugh don't tell me this...been running my RC spacers for a about 4 months with no issues, but I'm always worried. I've done some significant wheeling and drive 75+MPH. It seems that issues with these either happen fairly soon after install or not at all.

It could just be a defect. Rough country is replacing a pair for free. My brother in arms was kind enough to loan me his charger in exchange for helping him fix his 73 duster and putting gas in said duster

I ran my RC spacers for 20,000 miles with no issues. I'm glad you weren't injured and your Jeep can be repaired.I had a 71 340 Duster, miss that car. remember cruising listening to the Beach Boy's Endless Summer album on the 8 track.
