I have hauled some fairly heavy loads with mine and have also had the outside tire (with several thousand pounds of gooseneck hooked to me) on a bank where the inside tire was not touching the ground with no ill effects. I have ran nothing but the arrowcrafts on my truck and I am not knockin other spacers but I doubt that there is a better spacer made. The two spacers weighed about 31lbs when I got em. I want to think I paid around 250 for the pair wich doesnt seem that bad to me.

I just knew you were going to pop up in this thread. I am going to go to 22.5's once I get some more use out of the original tires. How's it pull the gooseneck with the 22.5's?

It pulls great for me but there are two thing to look at hear the stability of the 14 or 16 ply tires is amazing, but you better have some power because they will drag you down some. And as far as havin an auto I really woulden't know, with my 6spd I can easily stay on top of my rpm's.

After the body lift. You can see where I left the nerf bars below the body mounts to make it easier for the wife to get in/out. Didn't look too bad with them 3" below the body. I'm 6'0 and the bottom of the rearview mirrors were about eye level on me.



A rear shot as well:
