wheel spacers/big wheels and tires

I'm about to buy a set of 1.5" spacers for my truck. I have 37x13.5x20 now and plan on going bigger in the spring. just curious if I'm going to have any issused bc of the weight of the tires and such with the spacers breaking? I've never heard anything bad about them but then again everyone I knew who used them own cars. thanks yall.

Thats a lot of weight to put on a spacer, I'd think twice before doing it cause its gonna add stress to the front end pushing all the weight outwards.

Yeah man, 3 years, not a damn problem with mine. I had the 1.5 spacers and now I have 2" adapters with the 6 lug pattern on 37x13.5x20.

I've got a set of 1.5" spacers, 6x135, that I'm no longer using if you're interested.
