Cons: a vehicle is engineered to distribute the weight in a certain place on the wheel bearings. When you start moving that weight outward a it changes that distribution. No immediate problems but bearings can wear out down the road

Pros: stance, wider wheel base, prevents rubbing on control arms and inside of the fenders and combined with the right wheels and tires it looks sick!

I posted this in stock q's, but are OME leafs the best go to? I am looking at the RE 3.5" packs but read bad things about their bushings. Thinking OME 3.5" rear pack w/ bilsteins and shackle relocation. Or 2" OME w/ the shackle movement since I don't want to go up very high and have to replace my axle.

Those Deaver are so very expensive, though. $700 for a leaf pack is way outside my budget. Also I run a hitch/bike rack/50 pounds of bikes pretty often, and I read they aren't made for carrying weight. Not sure if that means "Weight" or serious payload. I understand those are the tippity top of the line, though 8)

That's why I asked. 
The rack and hitch are probably 80-100 pounds together and don't get taken off ever. I just don't want to buy the wrong stuff in that regards. I usually keep a few tools and the full size spare as well, but I figure they calculate that into weight classes for springs.
