Paging MarkMC.... oh paging MR. MarkMC.....

Cheapest wont really be your best option, but Mark has a line on some that work really well. That's where I'd start. In fact I did buy them from the vendor direct before Mark started dealing them.

I never understood the fascination with "cheapest" when it's a product whose failure WILL end up with death or mayhem to you or innocent bystanders, but everybody has their priorities. :slap:

Why not save "cheap" for non-structural things like roof racks or sleeping bags or condoms? Or beer? Buy cheap beer to be able to afford better spacers. Of course, that assumes more expensive spacers are "better" in some measurable way, an attitude I know is not shared by all my friends here and on trailvoy.

Wherever you get them, do NOT ever use EZAccessory.com or the goofs of the same name on Ebay.

Same for cheap tires and cheap oil

Probably the 4 things I wouldn't buy cheap or generics. Well, replace beer with any kind of alcoholic beverage
This is an aggressive post. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate a post of this quality and depth.

Mark, I noticed there is a difference in price between the above and on your website. Is there a special discounted price for members of offroadtb?

Was about to say, maybe it has something to do with the fact that the post is over 3 years old..

Did you miss the date on Mark's post and it's from 2010? :poke:

Since members here are about the ONLY FOLKS who benefit fully from Mark's being in this business, I consider his prices are amazingly fair. He's doing this as a vehicle owner as a service to the community, and I recommend saving up or haunting the "for sale" forum if affording his list prices is an issue. Besides, the cost of the spacers is FAR exceeded by the cost of good offroad tires to go with them.

Not to take buisness from Mark, but MotorSport Tech is another company that makes quality adapters/spacer for good prices. They can make nearly ANY combination you need, even up to a 3" spacer!!!

At 52.50 each on Motorsport, they are only $9 cheaper than Mark. At that price difference, I would gladly support a site vendor.
