the bearing load changes are no greater than a dished out rim though, so how bad is it really? are people with deep rims roasting bearings? i ask because i plan on getting some wider rims with less backset to fill in the fender flares, and i dont think 2 or 3" will kill the bearings, but i havent tried yet so.......?

Just what I've heard from others. No personal experience.
Adapters are expensive though. You could buy a whole new set of wheels for how much adapters are.
I only paid $120 each for my brand new aluminum wheels. Sell those and get some that will fit your truck.

I would take that with a grain of salt, I have adapters on my truck as mine has been converted and with 250k on the truck I changed my first wheel seal last summer, I looked at the wheel bearings and they are mint and threw them back into service. I've grossly overloaded my truck a few time (4000lbs lime stone) in my truck and hauled it down the highway with no issues and hauled some big loads on my trailer overweighted in the last 100k that I've owned my truck and before me it hauled a 5th wheel by the orignal owner.

I have seen them milled/drilled out before to fit, it's not a big deal with the right equipment.
