I think when done correctly theyd be fine but they need to be tightened properly... Not tight enough the nuts back off... Too tight runs the risk of cracking the spacer... I know several weldin rigs that run spacers between the dual real wheels so they can run wide mud grips and theyve had no problems and they have a crap load of weight... The weldin machine oxygen an acetlyne bottles tools leads etc... Atleast 6-7,000 lbs

Yep and a lot of diesel pull trucks run them to help get grip. Just gotta get the good ones and not cheap ebay ones.

True...and make sure they are hubcentric. Good ones should run atleast 50 bucks apiece.

If you really want them to stick out that far, would stick with 33s with just a level.
