Wheel Spacers

[Skkzhg]

Anyone used wheel spacers to widen the rear track to match the front? If so, brand and/or known issues?

I used 1.5" spacer on the rear and it looked better. I am trying to find the exact difference in the front and rear axle so I can get a spacer to make them the same width

I know some guys here are running 1.75 spacers. Try to use the search function.

It might be a good idea to put both wheels and tires (fully aired up) on the back and let the truck sit down normal on the ground and measure the amount of space between the tire and fender well all the way around , inside & outside of tires on both sides, (consider measuring with truck loaded if you will be hauling heavy loads ) before you purchase the spacers.
The off set of the wheels and the size of the tires can also help determine how thick of a spacer you will need.
Good luck with your choice.

Not sure how well it shows here, but running 2" spacers on the rear. Think it matches up pretty well.

Hopefully I'll be able to swap to a wider later model rear axle some day.
