I am assuming, just the aluminum leveling spacers?

or real Body life spacers?

Understood. I like the look of a wider stance as well, but personally I would rather get that from a different wheel offset and width than wheel spacers. For some reason, wheel spacers make me nervous.

Yeah not body lift or leveling spacers, wheel spacers. I have looked hard into leveling kits but I like how lift kits keep factory geometry in the front end. Little more spendy, but I hope worth it.
I have found this user with a 4 inch lift and stock 20 inch rims. He doesnt say whether or not he uses spacers and to me, it doesnt look like it but who knows

4", stock 20" Platinum wheels, 1.5" Bora spacers, but I'm only running 275-65r20's so I have plenty of turning clearance even at full suspension travel.

That looks great! Thank you. Did you ever try it without the spacers? And if not, do you think you would have clearance without the additional 1 5" spacers?

I had 275/65/20 tires with only 1.5” level, no spacers; no issues.

I didn't run it w/o spacers, I just did it all at once. That said, I'm not seeing anything that looks like it would be an issue if the spacers weren't there.
