there are pros and cons.

pros are wider stance, more aggressive look etc

cons are more stress on the front suspension parts, possibility of the wheel falling off, unsafe to tow with, and theyre expensive.

my advice, save your cash. for the same price as 4 new spacers, you can get new rims. procomp and cragar both have steelies starting at 53 bucks apiece. i got mine for 52 each.

I've been running 1.25" bolt ons on the front of my truck for years. i've never had a problem with them.
