I see im 9 months late to lots of hate.
i run and ran spacers on my current and previous trucks. While i agree they can cause premature wear AND there are cases of misuse with idiots, as long as you 1. Get a good quality spacer and 2. Torque to the proper specs and check them. You shouldnt have any problems.
i forget which ones i ran on my ranger, i wanna say spidertrax or another popular jeep favorite. My f150 ive run bora in two sizes. 1.25” and currently 1.5”.

Don't do it they change the geometry that Ford built into your truck. Installing them changes where the weight of your truck is supported on your wheel bearings accelerating their wear. They could also cause abnormal tire wear and handling characteristics and become the weak spot in your suspension.
Thread is 10 years old and OP hasn't posted in 9 years himself. Good job guys. He might even have the truck anymore.
