You resurrected a 7 year old thread about a topic that gets beat to death. Another amazing piece of front page news thanks to the amazing team of jk forum editors.

What is the required maintenence for them? Any reason to avoid them? I would use either the Spidertrax or Teraflex spacers. I was at Discount Tire today and they will not touch the Jeep if it has spacers on it. This scares me. Before you jump all over me about the search function, I spent 30 minutes searching before posting. I am sure there are 1,000 threads on this topic, but I could not find them.
Porsche used spacers on any number of Turbo and Carrera 4 911s. Good quality spacer, no worries.
