Wouldn’t a quality spacer and a wheel with an offset be similar in regards to side effects

Or keep your eyes open for some standard flares. I waited probably 6 months till I found someone selling theirs local and drove 2 hrs to pick them up. I found them on Facebook marketplace for 250$. About same poke as having a 1.5 spacer.
A good spacer with good dimensions won't cause any problems.

1.5 was a perfect sweet spot for me. I'm just stock 30" thought. Improved handling greatly and got rid of the top heavy feel. Also just made it look so much better.

Yes. Wasn't hard. Just time consuming. You can go to the showcase section of the website here and mine should be the first one on the list right now( same picture) I have a list of all the things I've done. Only thing not on there is the afe Apollo gt scorcher which I ordered yesterday. Also have pedal monster but have to wait for an exchange cause I ordered the wrong one.

Hi! Any one have experience with KSP wheel spacers ? 1.5” . I want to put some on my badlands (non Sas) . Is KSP a good brand? They seem to have good quality (billet forged, hub centric, T-6061, 10.9 bolt) . I want to get close to Sas poke , will this have a detriment on my suspension?
You are effectively increasing the lever arm about the suspension pickup points. Which will have an effect on the wheel rate by increasing the lever against the springs. You're effectively making your springs a little bit softer. I'm honestly not sure what kind of impact that has on your particular shocks. I seriously doubt there will be any measurable increase in component wear, and if there is the shocks are the only place that would be subject. The control arms, steering links, ball joints all have the ability to move without bind so there's little risk of harm.* The wheel and spacer are fixed in place by the friction force between the mounting surfaces if the bolts are properly torqued.
In the terms of handling, it will probably increase tramlining just a bit due to moving the centerline of the wheel more outboard of the spindle.
*With this said, abusing the vehicle outside of design parameters is still going to be harmful.
