Lift Kit Question

[Radon]

A while ago I installed a 3in knuckle lift. Soon after I noticed that my front wheels are spaced apart a little more. I looked on fabtech's website and apparently this is inherent with that type of lift. My question is, have any of you guys fixed this (i.e. spaced out the back tires) or is my OCD kicking in a little too hard.

Couldn't you just get a wheel that "pokes out" more? I have never seen what you are talking bout. Post a pic please.

New wheels would not fix the problem, the new knuckles in the front push the wheels out. The new rear wheels would still mount narrower than the front.

I've thought about this myself as well. I have a 6" knuckle kit installed and it moved my front tires out about an inch each on either side. I was looking into some spacers to bring the back tires out to to the same width but I could not find much information about them. I really dont know how they would affect anything..if at all.

That's were I was heading too, I just wanted to hear if someone else had done it. I've never messed with wheel spacers.

No more Tough Country lift?

No, I still have the lift. I was also wondering if I could fit a coil spring spacer in there with the new knuckle that's already there. Does anyone know if the suspension can handle both a 2" spacer with the 3" taller spindle?

there is no way you can fix that without taking the lift off the taller and wider spindels is what gives you three of the inches out of your lift and wheel spacer for the back is one way to fix that but a BAD idea never put wheel spacers on your truck exspecially on the back youll bend your axle shafts or sometimes the wheels just fall off the only thing i recomend is to take your rear axle to a shop to have it lengthened or take your lift off or deal with the wideness only rancho and skyjacker lifts dont widen the front spacing all others including the cheap brands to
