    Have any of ya bought something from Motor-sport Technology?? I found them on ebay.

    this what they say, "Hello fellow EBAYER!! You are bidding on a custom set of 2 wheel adapters, spacers built to your order. This auction is for a pair of 8 lug wheel adapters up to 2.00" thick (we can build up to 4"), Hub centric to the car only! These are NOT wheel centric! (Hub Centric- meaning that I am going to build these to slide over your stock hub just like your stock wheel does, you will have no play or slop when putting these on your ride!) I build them hub centric to insure no vibration problems. If you would like lugnuts included they are $1 each! Please specify or they will not be sent! I also give you a lifetime warranty with the adapters. I build all of my products out of 6061t6 billet alluminum.
    All of my products carry a 1,000,000 dollar product liabilty insurance policy!!! I can build whatever you need to whatever specs. I am known for making any wheel fit any car. I can build two piece adapters from 5 to 4, 6 to 5, 5 to 6, 8 to 10, 8 to 5...... I build all the spacers for all the largest wheel manufactures Giovanna, Momo, Axis, Symbolic.....the list goes on! DONT BE FOOLED by the other auctions they are cast made cheap products made in china!!!!! You can trust my adapters, you will be safe cruzing down the street knowing you have the best adapters made to man!!!!!!!!!!! i build all the adapters for all the Discount Tire Co's because they know I build safe adapters.....I have been building adapters for 20 years!!!! This is what I do... Give me a shoot, you wont be disapointed."

    Seems expensive. What are you using them for? What are your plans? I paid $80 for my spacer/adapters. (1 pair) (Also from ebay.)

    You want to stay dually right? And were the adapters just to put on 5 lug wheels?

    Well the biggest change in your ride quality will actually come from the suspension. I'm curious, can you post a few pics of the front torsion bar setup? If they aren't already, you might be able to change to the non-dually torsion bars and sway bar, and also, give me some pics of the rear leaf spring setup, ie. front hangers, axle spring perches, and rear shackles. You may be able to change to the stock pickup springs or the lowered springs.

    If this is what you are going for, it will make a huge difference in the ride quality.

    Just a side note, are you looking for an adapter to get you to 8 lug? I don't think that's a bad idea. There are tons of wheels for the 8's if it doesn't push the wheels out too far in the front...... maybe another reason to consider the 4wd fenders?

    Those pics are great....

    From the looks of it, you may be able to do the rear spring swap. When I get home from work tonight I'll try to remember to get some measurements for you so you can compare them.

    90-95 4wd pickup or 4runner I believe. (95 4runner I know for sure.)
    you will also need the corner marker lights (they are different.)
    If you want to do the 4wd bumper, search bumpers on this forum and I know we've talked about all the options, there are a few.

    Partstrain has been really good with prices and quality. I bought a piece from an ebay dealer for 25% less and it was pretty poorly made. (ended up getting another one from Partstrain)
