Anyone running 1.25" wheel spacers on the rear (only) with stock wheels? Any thoughts on this?

Reason I'm asking is....I got my 285/70/17 BFG M/T 's on yesterday. I really like the aggresive look of these tires, buuuttttt the rear wheels are to far under the truck IMO. The front is jut right. I havn't messured the width but between the running boards and the EB trim, it looks narrower than the front.

Idk, but im pretty sure that the spacers on bigger rims/tires like on suv's wear out the bearings much faster. But idk, thats just what i've heard.

spacers will definitely wear out the bearings much faster. shouldnt pose much of a problem with mild offroading but you will have to keep up on your maintenance with the spacers.
