When you change wheels and tires on 300+ cars a day, you see it all. On light cars and trucks, they're bad enough, but to put them on a full size truck is about as smart as driving without lug nuts. The axles where never designed to be put under that much stress. Besides being illegal in most states, spacers also put the bearings under a lot of stress. The reason we won't work on vehicles with them because we have had customer who have damaged their vehicle greatly due to the spacers, and they blame us.

Ive had 1.5" adapters on my truck for over a year now with not one problem. Now if you load up the bed pretty good, it might cause some problems. Otherwise I think youll be fine. Oh, for everybody else, they are called "Adapters". "Spacers" are just a plate that fits between the hub and the wheel. Does not bolt to anything. This is just incase some people dont know the difference. Not putting anybody down.

I had "adapters" on a mustang about 4 years back, but like stated above it was to put rims with a non-stock bolt pattern on it. I was driving home about 2 in the morning and my front drivers side rim flew off my car and i was on my axel for approx. 50 feet. Luckily didn't break the axel or cause serious damage (don't ask me how it didn't). The reason the rim came off: adapter broke!
