Is there a difference in the track width of the rear tires vs the front tires. I'm looking at getting spacers and I want the width to be the same. Example; 1.5" for the rear and 1" or 1.25" for the front. TIA

Actually the measurements are almost exact.....
IT is the width of the sheet metal and fiberglass of the truck that makes it look like the rear wheels are narrower then the fronts..

Thanks For the quick response Todd. Ok next question. Will it hurt the handling or do any damage having the rear wider then the front.

I Highly recommend spacers for the back...
I have been running 1.25 for almost 2 years now...
They will work with OEM rims, BUT not aftermarket rims... Then you need 1.5 inch

The rear axle not only looks narrower than the front, but is actually is narrower than the front.
A 1.25" spacer makes it look nicer, a 1.5" is even better.
