Don't put spacers on the front wheels. 1) YM2000 sometimes breaks spindles, this would increase the leverage to do that. 2) The load runs centered (ideally) between the two wheel bearings, spacers put all the load on the outer bearing. 3) a wider front end doesn't resist tipover, because the axle is hinged and doesn't contact the frame until after a rear wheel has lifted off the ground. Ballast the rear tires and wheels instead.
I wouldn't cut down the size of the bucket either, just take smaller loads. Sooner or later there will be some large object - furniture etc - that needs that large size.
That looks great!
