ok so i have a 97 ext cab with the dana 35 and 8.8. im running 33s i am thinking about gettign a set of wheel spacers for my truck. no reason to i dont need them i just kinda want a set im thinking 1.5" i found a set on ebay for 70 bucks think its worth it? i know these kinda screw wheel bearings but im not sure if 1.5" will actually make a huge difference in wear.

buddy...these would be the only things keeping youre wheels attached to youre vehicle...its a bad idea. No its a HORRIBLE idea.
 
ive heard that from many people but ive also haerd ppl that have been running them for years without a problem. its like the same as a bodly lift so many people absolutly hate them but tons of people have done it without problems

I had mine made by a reputable machinist and have had them on with 35/37's for over 2 years without an issue.... I've seen cheapies rip studs out on a 15mile wheelin adventure.

Running them for no reason (bolt pattern change, clearance for rubbing) isn't a good idea as they do add stress to an already weak component of the TTB steup, with it's narrow bearing design.
 
ran them on my old 98 cherokee for a year with no problems..they were 2inch
