Just read through all this and I was having similar problems with the studs/spacers. Thanks for the tips!
 
I’m glad to have found this thread because I need longer front studs for my Fuel wheels. There just isn’t enough thread engagement for my comfort. I was planning to do new bearings anyway since I have to replace one dust shield, so my plan was to find longer studs to press in while everything was apart. The only option I knew of was some really expensive ARP extended studs, which come in packs of 5, so I’d need to buy 3 packs, which would cost almost a c-note!:redbrick: The Matrix studs seem like a MUCH more economical solution!
 
Installed new no name spacers from eBay instead of KSP. No vibration now. New spacers are hub centric/ rim centric. KSP are hub centric only not rim centric or lug centric to the rim. Center bore is also too big. It seems like this company is making universal spacer for 6x139,7mm pattern which is common but not perfect fit for our trucks. Moral of the story, KSP spacers are poor choice. Stay away or enjoy vibration.

Searching around for some info and ran across this old thread. I have a steering wheel shake also. I took it in for an alignment hoping that was it and they told me the spacers didn't have enough thread grab and was causing the shake.

Just read your PSA about KSP spacers. Went back to look at the brand I have, and wouldn't you know: they are KSP.

I tried putting on some ARP wheel studs today but they are too long. Maybe I'll look into getting some new spacers, although no name Ebay specials scare me.
