hey arya thanks for the reply mate.
I bloody agree with what you say about the trunion bearings last longer is to keep the wheel/tire tucked up to the knuckle.
LCWIZARD can supply me 2 5/8" longer inner and outer 30-spline shafts (then I don't have to get custom ones).
Also when I run the wheel spacers I can take them off as I wish.

Use wheel spacers for Rock crawling, Take them off for higher-speed mud racing.

You don't need adaptor plates. That's what gaffer tape was invented for.
