Nice truck dutter. Most inportantly, it is your truck after all, do what You want to it. The only recomedation I could give you is, if the spacers are aluminium it will loose torque over time, so when you rotate your tires re-torque the spacers also. And keep it shinny side up when playin on the rocks.

Have you??? I've owned spacers and have known many people that have. Fast wheel bearing wear is common on 4x4s with spacers and stock spaced wheels, amung other problems. Enjoy having trashed wheel bearings.
