So far so good with the non-bolted 3/4" spacer and long studs. But I agree, it does add more stress on the studs and if it did come loose they could well shear. In retrospect I probably should have just gone to shallower backspace wheels for width.

Glenn, I think Greg might have been referring to swapping in front hubs from an ifs truck (to match the width you'd gain in the back with 1.5" spacers). The ifs hub has its flange 1.5" outboard of what the solid axle trucks had but is otherwise the same. Common swap on minitrucks if you do a search. A few options for making the brakes work with ifs hubs.

Again, custom offset wheels would probably be easier.
