WHeel spacers?
I just got my leveling kit installed on my 2001 2wd f150. Im lookin for more of an off road stance and was thinking about wheel spacers. Any input good or bad will be much help.

Increased stress on suspension components. Bearings, ball joints, etc. will wear out sooner.

How much sooner? Who knows.

I agree. Add some lift spindles and they will give you a wider stance as well as more lift.
