I ran 1.5" wheel spacers on my 95 CC/LB PSD that weighed 9200 lbs. I was running 49" Iroks.

No problems at all with the wheel spacers from performancewheel.com

Hate wheel spacers. I dont understand why people want there tires to hang outside of the wheel wells... 37's and a 4" lift with factory back spacing...

My truck got the spacers because I couldn't turn the truck.

The tires were so wide that they'd hit the leaf springs while barely turning the steering wheel. Even with wheels that had very little backspacing, I couldn't turn much more than a few degrees. With a 21 foot long truck, I wanted all I could get and they helped immensely. Trying to stuff 21" wide tires in the fenders isn't gong to happen anyway so I figured that the extra 3" of track width wasn't going to hurt anything.

They will stick out further from the CL of the truck... For the look... What size tire are you running?

That is about the only example where wheel spacers should be used. Extream lifts with Extream tires...

Again, just my opinion...

For what it's worth, the above picture is NOT an example of the steering limit. It would turn quite a bit sharper than that. That was about the limit without the spacers though.
