As far as wear and tear I'll have to get back to you on that in 100,000 miles or so.
Do you remember where you got the spacers at by chance?

I got the Daystar spacers on sale on Amazon for $30. The 1" rear blocks were about $30 at O'Reillys.

Check customwheeloffsets.com for wheels and tires. I got all 4 of mine mounted, balanced and shipped for $2500, keep in mind they are also Fuel 20's (one of the most expensive) and 37" tires. You'll find something in your price range for sure and can easily search by our f-ed up bolt pattern.

Spindles are the way to go with the rough country shipped to your door for about 500 install your self and will clear 285s all day. And the ride quality is way better then the spacers. Wheels and tires for under 2k is easy to find.

I appreciate it! I have the exact same truck as you so it's nice to get a visual.
