86 chevy 4x4 wheel width

The rear tires sit more under the truck. The rear end is not the same width as the front, can this be corrected. Thanks

The rear axles on these trucks are about 3" narrower than the front.  This helps handling when turning.

Almost ALL vehicles have a slightly wider track in front than the rear....
