Wheel spacers for stability... it doesn't really work like that on a vehicle with live axles. The body roll comes from the springs, which go between the axles and the chassis. The axle always stays perpendicular to the road, regardless of how wide you make it, so spacers won't change how much the body rolls. Best to not bother with spacers!
There is no other type of hub than those already mentioned.
Re. 4wd light flashing. It's unlikely to be a trapped or broken wire as there are only 2 wires between the transfer case and the vacuum control system. If either of those is broken, the car won't get any signal to engage 4wd so there would be no reason for the light to flash. 75% of the time it's a split hose. 20% of the time it's a wheel bearing gone. 5% of the time it requires a more in depth investigation.
