Title: would you trust these wheel spacers?
Post by: ncguy89 on November 12, 2012, 04:12:04 pm: would you trust them? i just installed a lift and bigger tired on my truck but i and alot of others can notice the rear track being narrower than the front. so i found these to hold me over until i bought a new set of wheels at tax time. i do some moderate offroading. i will only be installing 2 on the rear. so any opinons would be appreciated.

All these trucks have this so it isn't a big deal. It was setup to help steering maneuverability...

If you want them to be the same you can swap in a 88-up C/K 4x4 axle, they are wider...
