ok. so ive read a lot of threads, about perch adjustments vs spacers, and company's spacers failing under use......how ever I've had my 2'' readylift spacers in for a few miles, I was wondering if anyone has had these aluminum blocks break, or fail in anyway???

There are a few that have been running spacers for a long time with no problems. Many here will give you shit for even thinking about using a spacer...

I know I will get some crap for it, and I'm aware of the cv angle issues, but I did these before I knew about the frf,,and yes I had to cut my bolts to fit them, but I will keep these on ,just need to know if they have failed for anyone?

because I have sometime before I can pull them out and do the perch adjustment, as well as order new studs/caps.....so for the next 2 months my wife will have to keep driving with these in place, shes not rallying this truck of course just daily driving...but like I said do I have to worry about these spacers failing for the time being..?,, since they are aluminum if they have cracked, or been damaged in anyway?

With only on road use
They shouldn't be an issue

Perch can be done at home in just few ours

Alignment needs to be check both ways so no upsides there

Just saves you money and adds peach of mind going the perch way

But in the end. Its all down to what you like

As i understand ur in afghanistan atm
So why do it now instead of beeing back?

Yea on road seems to be little to no issues with the spares but any bit of off road use you'll slowly start to see wear and tear on things a lot faster than they should so if you do plan on off roading a bit I'd change them out soon like you plan on doing!

trying to avoid having a shop do the work by having the spacers pulled with the perch done and charge$$$$ this is something I can easily correct at home... so if you guys are saying so long as she keeps it on the road I can wait to get home to fix this issue....but im really mad about spending money on these things and wasting my time with them, im big into the powersports world and I failed to over look that these fox shocks are adjustable for preload, and hell we even have a Polaris side by side out here and we made a lift kit out of boredom for it,,,funny part is 2 cv axles have failed bad in just a few weeks, so Im more then aware of the cvs on the truck doing the same.. ..but as you guys stated road use only isn't an issue so I will wait to fix it...
