Yeah. There's two different types of spacers. Ones that put the load on the lugs (lug-centric) like these and ones that put the load on the hub which are recommended because of the weight of our trucks. I'm not sure if it's because of the spacers or because they should be balanced etc. But there's an iteresging throbbing hum they get between 30-50 mph that doesn't exist above or below. I'm not sure. But I'll get them balanced soon and see if it's that.

I would be interested to know what makes the hum go away. I understand what you are saying about the spacer that locks to the hub but does it make that much of a difference? Are these easier to install?

THe difference is lugcentrics are easier to make so they're cheaper. Hubcentrics all around the truck cost about $500. I think only Toddco makes em. The lug centrics are cheaper because the tolerances are greater. Idk about the hum but if someone figures it out before me let me know. Haha.
