Default Wheel spacers and bearings?

I'm thinking seriously about getting 2 inch spacers with my new toyo open country MT's just to get a bigger stance my rim is already offset, with the spacers they'd stick 4 inches out. I heard getting spacers destroy your bearings is this over a long period of time or would I constantly be having to replace them?

6 inch lift by the way.

Dont do it. Yeah you may get lucky and not have horrible problems for a little bit but I have heard nothing but horror stories about people who run big spacers, especially 2". They put so much extra stress on your hubs, bearing, etc. Save some coin and get different wheels to properly do it.
