Don't think so, I ordered them right off their site. I got my rear tires today, hopefully the fronts show up tomorrow early enough to get it into the shop.

right not to scare you but tell us if you have any vibration when you have them install after a few months.

...and here's the new beefier looking rear view with those spacers:

One thing to note, this mod added a solid 1/2" more body clearance off the ground. Hope this helps!
