That's why I was careful not to say that spacers caused the issue, if one occurred.

With a large enough sample size, you could attribute problems to spacer installation... or not. That was my objective.

True, but i don't know if there is enough data on these truck to be called long term.
Anytime you go aftermarket you take a chance of it affecting the integrity of the original design, therefore causing issue and parts needing to be replaced. Some trucks are just more prone to issues also.

I've had a 1.5" AS level on my front end and RAS boosting the rear another 3/4" or so. 15,000 miles later and I haven't had an issue.

What is RAS boosting?
