Spidertrax are generally what is recommended. I have had a set for 4 years now and wheeled a lot on them. I personally am using the 1.75" kit though
This is the JK kit. Just be warned that these are sold by the pair, not a set of 4.

Keep an eye on the spidertrax website. Occasionally they have "blems" for sale. I got my 1.5" ones for 79/pair instead of 99 and 2 of the 4 have anodizing issues, and the other two look perfectly fine. In the 12k they have been on the rig I've had no issues.

I have had both spidertrax and synergy. The only reason I went with synergy this time around was because they were anodized red. The only difference I have noticed so far is that the red anodizing is starting to fade a little bit, that didnt happen with the blue on the spidertrax. As long as theyre installed correctly, I doubt the brand really matters.

G2, teraflex and many others make 1.5" spacers. I've heard of people who have broken several sets of spidertrax. I have heard of people who have wheeled 10k miles on the Chinese Amazon brands. I personally used G2 spacers until I got new wheels with proper offset.
What it comes down to is making sure that you install them correctly. Apply anti-seize to the hub, use a torque wrench and RED threadlocker on the studs, and use the torque wrench on your wheels as normal. Generally it is a 2 person install as you'll need someone to step on the brake. Just like with a tire rotation, make sure to torque the wheel spacers after about 100 miles as well as after any major wheeling trip.
