Spidertrax makes some very good aluminum spacers and they hold up just a well as any other.

I have 6k on my spacers, and you can ask wildandwillin how hard I wheel mine! Spidertrax 1.5" BTW.

I dont know.... steel is harder, aluminum is just to pliable. My own preferance. 09Rubicon wheels his hard. We wheel together from time to time.

I have had my Spydertrax on my Jeep for over 20,000 miles. I have done plenty of hard wheeling and no problems. I am more worried about the front Dana 30 failing before the spacers do.
