Default Axle/Wheel Spacers

Well I plan on putting a brush guard on my truck and a big 80lb safari rack above with 4 lights and my spare tire. So there is going to be quite a bit more weight on the top of the blazer not to mention I will have a 2-inch body lift and possibly a 2-inch suspension lift. So there is going to be a lot of roll in my blazer making it prone to roll or flip. So I want to add like 2-3 inches of spacing behind each wheel to give it a total of 4-6 inches of a wider stance, which should help this problem. What other things could/should I do to help it not roll. Also where do you buy these wheel spacers; I haven’t been able to find them.

Yeah, at the expense of shortened wheel bearing life and shorter turning radius with the same sized tires.
