Pro Comp 6in lift matching track width

[sgt.dix]

Im trying to match my rear track width to the front of my truck. Does anyone know what size wheel spacer it would take to do that? Or what is the best way of measuring that? I know theres some mixed reviews on wheel spacers but i want to give them a try because im sick of my track width not matching

1.5" should do it.

I'd lengthen the axle tubes and get custom axles... honestly it's worth the coin because if one of those wheel's comes off........ you'll be get a whole NEW rearend anyways, if you survive the roll-over. It's really not that bad to lengthen the axle tubes.

 

edit: I think you can get aftermarket rearends that deal with this right?

Why do you want to match the track width? 4X4s are suppose to have a wider track width in the front then the rear so the rear tires don't ride in the exact path of the front tires as this is for traction as in dirt, snow etc.

Quality spacers will do fine. I have never heard of someone widening the rear axle to match the front on an IFS pickup. Generally serious off roaders end up with wider custom axles front and rear for stability and tire clearance but that's a different deal. You'd be looking at $2000 to widen it I'd bet.

 

You actually want the front and rear track to line up, especially in snow. The front wheels "plow" and the pickup will drive better with the rear wheels in their tracks. Go out in a snowy parking lot and turn just tight enough the rear wheels aren't in the fronts' tracks and you'll be surprised how much quicker the pickup slows down.

I just went through this with my truck. Best way to measure is use a fixed spot on the rim that can be accomplished on the front and the back. I ran a tape from inside rim lip under truck and through the rim to the exact same inside rim lip on opposite side. If that makes sense? Or a simpler option is run a straight edge like a level on the outside of both front tires and measure from outside of levels edge then repeat on the back. Defiantly a 2 man job. Hope this helps.
