I just bought a set of 4 1.25 wheel spacers. I bought them used and one of the bolts is sheered off. How do I go about removing and replacing the sheered bolt?

is it just a wheel stud? If so you can just beat it out with a punch . . . bring it down to the auto parts store and find another stud that fits and pound it back in.

I am running 11.5's but when I make a hard turn and cut the wheel all the way, I rub my control arms. I figured I'll pay for wheel spacers and keep the rubber on the inside of the tire.

yeah, it would reduce your turning radius slightly but a lot cheaper than buying wheel spacers...and takes about 10-15 minutes www.4x4xplor.com/steerstop.html |

I use my leaf springs as wheel stops, has been very effective for me so far.

Well, I installed them this weekend and the spacers are great. Not sure I"m going to keep thme and not change my turning radius but the extra 2.5" makes a big difference in the stance.
