Why you wouldn't recommend??? Where i can get the spacer and how much it would go?

Because if you use them, you're stuck from that day forward, forever, with a 2-series posi. In order to put in a 3-series posi you'd have to re-replace the gears.
If you use a spacer, and some day later you come up with a 3-series posi, all you do is take out the spacer and you're good to go.
It's not an issue of strength or whatever; it just is a question of sealing yourself off from future options.
Cost is virtually the same either way.
