with all the wheel choices and sizes available why would you need spacers to begin with?

yea, them being aluminum wouldn't worry me as much as using spacers in general. you'd be surprised how strong billet 6061 is in compression. if you think using spacers is fine, those will work for ya.

oyyea and with the aluminum, i was just iffy about it but i think the spacers are less to worry about than the components of the truck that will get that much more stress put on them no?

I'll jump in now.....the 1.25" spacers i have are awesome....I've hauld over 9000 lbs with my truck and even jumped it on "ACCINDENT" and I still have not had to adjust the torque on them or anything...just dont go with ebay spacers....If u want some high end spacers let me know I can hook u up with a guy here....they are a lil expensive....but well well well well worth it.....I think I paid 180 for all 4.....the guy who sold them to me pushes over 1000 lbs of torque with his duramax and he has 2" spacers....and not a problem out of them....I've put about 15,000 miles on mine without a problem
