@FlyingRaptor and @Mbdurham... did either of you get any rubbing issues post Bora spacer installation and did either of you do any front or rear suspension mods?

There is the slightest rubbing on the left side when I turn full lock left going out of my driveway. I have been considering getting some Eibach springs to level it out, sounds like people are pretty happy with them.

Posted elsewhere but installed Bora 1.25” spacers yesterday but just getting around to posting.
I think the 1.25” pushes the OEM beadlocks our just right.

Looks Great!

On a side note, how do you like your bike rack? I just installed the Lomax bed cover and looking at options for carrying my bikes around.

Thank you very much! Good choice on the cover I really like my Lomax. I do really like the rack if I had it to do over I may have gotten the 1up but the Thule has been great. Very easy and quick to install on the truck and the bikes.

They look great! mine 1.25s are still sitting in a box, but back now from a fishing trip.


Did you have to trim the rear lugs (or any?)?

thanks
John

No I went a different route. Three of the holes already in the rear wheels were way deep enough and 3 barely hit so instead of cutting the lug bolts I used a 1/2” drill bit to deepen the holes on the back of the wheels about 1/8”. No issued works great

I like the subtle look accomplished by the pics here.

And while I'm probably the dullest tool in the shed in comparison to most others here wouldn't mud flaps be in order to stop rock chips all along the doors and rear fender with the wheels pushed out like that, or would that take away/ruin the look?

Thank you! No way I’d run mud flaps but that’s just me. If it looks like it will be a problem I’ll have it coated in film. They are still under/ even with the fenders so hopefully don’t have any issues

Gotcha, thanks, Hopeful to mount mine this week.

Did you use Red locktite? I'm going to use blue, I can't imagine the spacers going anywhere with blue at 150 ft/lbs, but I'm worried about trying to break the red loose when it's time for brakes.
