i've had spacers on my ruck for 6 years with no problem. you should be good. i also have the ones with the integrated studs. don't get disc type as they can cause stud failure

if you lower it a lot and have the wheels in the rear come out too much you will shred your tires on bumps. I have a 1.5" drop and put 1" spacers to make a 10" wide rim in the rear.....drove for 2 days and shredded the lip of my tires.....took them off. Just be careful
