offset wheels put just as much stress on the unit bearings stock wheels and spacers. Net offset being equal.

I can speak about the JKS 2.5 Jspec as I've had it installed since this past Nov. Very happy with it. Ride is a little firmer than stock but hardly noticeable. All of the components seem top notch. The one thing that I will recommend is the lower front control arms. They weren't included in the lift but I added their fixed length Jspec arms. Again, couldn't be more pleased. I'm riding high and can cruise down the interstate at 70-80 with a pinky on the wheel

you jeep doesn't know the extra offset is coming from spacers or a different back spaced wheel. It just knows the tires are sticking out further. No way would spacers cause more wear then the same offset got with new wheels.
