wheel spacers

the 33 inch toyo m/t rub at lock and was not sure if a 1-1.5 inch wheel spacer is acceptable for these trucks. Ive used them before on Jeeps without too many issues, but I have heard that they can be especially hard on bearings/ball joints in some make and models. Obviously if I could afford it I would get some different wheels with proper backspacing, but as my wife went a little overboard with the Christmas shopping this year I will be in the poor house for a little while.

What do they rub on.. sway bar and trailing arm? Spacer may just move your problem outboard to the fenders and bumper, the only real solution is raise the front end I believe.
