I have had 1" spacers on my 2015 for a few years and have not been offroading in over a year. Last week my wife and I were heading out to go grocery shopping and I felt a weird sway in the back so I immediately pulled onto a side street and heard a loud bang.
I started checking the tires because it felt like loose lug nuts. When I got to the last one, left rear, It moved quite a lot. I grabbed the lug wrench and they were all tight. I thought it might be a loose couple of lugs on the spacer. I used the crappy bottle jack to lift the axle enough to remove the wheel and it fell off. All six studs had sheared off.
Loose lugs on the spacer? No all of them were still tight in the spacer.
I am so glad my instincts had me stop when I did so there was no 100Lb tire flying down the street to hurt anyone and no major damage was caused to my vehicle.
I called AAA and requested a flatbed and the guy helped me with a real jack to get three of the lug nuts on enough to hold the tire on to get it on the tow truck and get it home.
Now the fun begins. With the brake drum / disc combo it's a PITA. There is little room to remove the springs that hold the shoes so I only removed one side and rotated 180* to install the other three studs.
I used a small sledge to hammer out the old studs then a combo of large nuts and washers to pull in the new ones with an impact gun.
After the studs were replaced it's fun getting the shoes back in place with no room to use normal tools. (Hint: put the center spring together first then slip the shoe in place.)
The one problem I gave myself is to rotate the axle I had to step on the brake to shift into neutral a few times and it caused the piston on the caliper to pop all the way out ( should have shoved a block of metal in there but did not think about it at the time). I will fix that tomorrow.
After that the rest of the spacers are coming off.
The spacers were properly hand torqued when installed in rechecked a couple of times since then. I also had American Tire hand torque the tires when installed and again when rotated.
In another thread this cost someone $950 to have it done. It only cost me $50 in parts but a lot of work. I am glad I have the tools and knowledge to do it myself.
