Nthinuf, I guess you don't have a response on what really makes different the material that has same specs, same metal and by all accounts is the same except color and brand. I'd assume since I genuinely asked for a lesson to learn something new, and time shows You can't tell me, that the reason can only be because there IS no reason except personal preference.
If I'm incorrect please teach me, metallurgy master.

There is no link showing on my phone. I cannot read what I do not see. It's not that I do not want to read or cannot read, but if a link doesn't show up, I cannot know it's there.
My original post references that fact. Respect to those who teach me new things, which was my original request.

Planmans post from that thread...
Looks like when WOL banned me from JKF that that thread got deleted.
Before I ran 40s on my JK, I bought a pair of RC spacers and had them tested.
6061-T6 has a tensile strength of 45,000 PSI, not 31,400.
Grade 8 bolts have a hardness rating of 33-39, not 26.2.
These are the results for the RC spacers:
