I've ran 3" spacers on a few DRW trucks and never had an issue. You have to be diligent about the install and I believe that is the key. These trucks were diesels, had over 450hp, and had 315/75r16 tires. Caught curbs and every pot hole on the road. Towed trailers, pulled sleds, and drag raced. We never had a problem with the expensive spacers or the cheap ones. I was really surprised about that.
