You guys think that running higher tire pressure might have contributed to the wear? I always ran the max load pressure at 36 psi front and 42 psi rear checked every couple months even
Of course I only have 7K miles on it but so far no signs of abnormal wear.

38 and 42 on RFTs? OMG, a sleigh ride! I feel sorry for your dental fillings.

I dropped down to the regular load pressures of 32 front, 35 rear. The ride is better but my tires are shot to begin with so with any bump the rear end shifts and it feels wierd... 
I think my problem must have been due to a combination of all of these factors. Tire pressure, spacers, and driving style. I've fixed the tire pressure, I'll get rid of the spacers when I get my new rims, but my driving style I will NOT change.
