I know it's not needed lol just that I have them on already to see just how far it'll look. Might look downright goofy

Main issue I could see with that much width is like we discussed the life of the hubs over time. But we also don't DD ours to make that too worrisome.

Yes, I do understand the added leverage of the spacers on suspension components and if there was a concern I would have no problem removing them but they do help with stability in the rocks and that is a plus for me.
