No one has mentioned this, but won't spacers generally shorten the life of your wheel bearings? Since they change the geometry & stress points it seems logical.

I will agree bolt on's are WAY easier to install but I dont think they are better. I have run spacers on my last 2 cars and ONLY use stud replacement with zero issues.

I've always thought this too.
