While I lowered my 4.8 and installed 21's, I actually decided against spacers as that is the one component that will cause the most stress on suspension components. It CAN be corrected with a proper alignment, but it will initially throw off everything from the toe, camber and alignment to tire wear! But to some, looks are more important...
Thanks for the info - I'm still undecided about the spacers.

I might try the natural staggered look...if not staggered enough for me, then go with the spacers after a bit.

Right now, looks like I will need winter's on there before the 214's get put on.
