I saw these things in a RV mag, what are they doing? What would be the advantage to using them? Is it just to make it stable while driving? Has anyone used them in the past? They say they push the wheels out about 2".

The spacers push the rear wheels out so they track in the same path as the fronts. This had become an issue when GM went to the IFS front end. This widening helps stability some and is also a help in snow/mud etc. since the rear wheels don't have to plow a new path.

Is this something that some people do, or is it a way to get money out of your pocket? Is there any problems with using them?

I believe that there is some benefit, but they also are quite heavy (add considerably to unsprung weight), and they do add some to the hub/axle loading by way of increased leverage arm.
