I had 1.5" spacers from cjbargains on ebay. I ran them for about 10,000 miles and didn't have any issues. I have different wheels now, but I'll probably use them again once I get a set of winter tires on my stock wheels.

I also had spacers from cjbargins they were 2" I ran on factory wheels back when I had just the body lift...

Ran quite a while with no issues...
