You'll have a little more suspension wear, but nothing to be concerned about.

It definitely won't affect your rocker arms at all, as those are part of the engine.

Your only option is a strut spacer on your truck, you don't have torsion bars/keys. Mine is from Autospring, hell bent steel is also popular.
