I think the "Rebel Flag" looks good on your truck and so would the spacers! I run the spacers with no issue, you need to re-torque them after a couple hundred miles then every oil change or so make sure they are hub-centric and you should not have any issues

i wouldn't use spacers that thick. they'll eat your $180 each front wheel bearings. you can probably use some thin ones with no harm, 1/4 - 1/2 inch. would that solve your problem.

there is also a turn stop adjustment on your front end. jack it up and turn it all the way and look at where its going to bottom out if the tire doesn't hit first. adjusting that a little might also fix your problem.

mine are 1-1/4" bolt on and the spacers put no more wear on bearings than way off set wheels, the centerline of the wheels is what determines that stress. now I will give you that you have twice as much chance for a lug nut to come loose, but routine maintenance will prevent that

I was simply making a joke of the idea of someone from PA, a Union state, having a Confederate flag on his truck. Nothing to do with what the flag might mean to some. And what good is knowing history if you can't communicate worth a damn?
