Discount tire
So I wanted to get 33's put on but Discount tire and a couple other places say they cant because I have 1.5" spidertrax on them. I guess Im going back to where I had my lift installed and spacers put on so they can do it. Thats just lame!

That seems pretty common. I went to 4 places including two dealers to get my tires rotated and none would touch it. So I just used that as an excuse to buy tires with correct backspacing

I had a similar issue once. I asked them why they couldn't help and the guy on the phone said its because they don't deal in spacer installation (or other mods like that). I guess its a liability issue. Like if one of the technicians brakes the spacer DT would be responsible for replacing it... perhaps?
Maybe someone else has some better information though.

Liability is the big thing, If any failure accures after the rotation with the wheel spacer they can be held responsible.
I've had DT guys say i could use a jack and air tools and do it myself no charge but their guys cant touch wheel spacers unless removing them permanently.

Same thing happened to me. I ordered tires through them and when they pulled off the first wheel it was like a video on rewind and that thing went back on quicker then you know what and my JK was off the jacks. I had them just remove the spacers so i could get my tires mounted then when i got home i jacked her up and put the spacers back on.
