Finally installed the 2" BORA Wheel Adapters. I have to say these things are high quality! They are hubcentric and wheel centric. One thing I will be letting Lenny know is that the studs are too long. I need to trim them so I can put the center caps on. Other than that they supplied the additional lug nuts needed to adapt them. I put red Loctite on the factory studs also.

My set up is as follows
-2.5" HBS Level
-Factory 20's
-295/60R20 Nitto Trail Grapplers

This gave the truck the perfect stance to me. I will get better pictures in the daylight tomorrow as when I finished it was getting dark.

I don't need to be lectured on how these are unsafe yada yada yada. Properly installed and maintained, they are no more dangerous than a non maintained wheel. And it is no different than a wheel with the same offset.

I love the new look the truck has.

Stance looks great!

 

You shouldn't have put loctite on the studs. 150ft lbs like ford says and theyll stay on.

 

I liked it better before.

 

Dang those changed the look of your truck for the good!!

If you dont mind me asking where did you get them from? I have been trying to find some but no luck.

 

Looks good! But with red loctite you'll never get those off now

 

Looks good I loved the wider stance when I lifted my truck

What was the 2x4 for though were you putting them on by hand or by impact gun? Guess by hand that works pretty well

I wouldn't say never, but it will be difficult. Heat is what breaks down Red Loctite. The heat from the brakes alone will gradually break down the Loctite. Not too concerned as they are here to stay.

In order to torque the adapter to the hub. The front hub is free spinning so the 2x4 holds it while torquing.

Looks good!

 

A couple quick pictures from when I got back to the office. Wheel turned slightly.

Yea that 2x4 was an awesome idea, haven't seen anyone do it before, but now I wonder why no one doesn't haha.

 

What light bar is that and what year mirrors I love the way they look (not stock right?)

 

30" LED From www.trailworthyfab.com. I'm pretty sure they are Auroa light bars.

OEM Tow Mirrors for 04-12

-Curtis-

 

To be clear, the tow mirrors will work on the '04-'12, but they weren't an option until '08.

 

That's a pretty good price on that bar. It's like the teeth of you truck lol. You're making me hate that my 2wd is so much lower!
