Has anyone used 1 1/4" wheel spacers on the front and 1 1/2" on the rear of their truck? I found that there is a 1/2" difference in the track width with the front being wider.

I did a search and couldn't find anything, so I apologize if this has been covered.

never heard of that. math doesnt add up. hmm? if thats the case, swap fronts to rear and rear to front.

Im pretty sure the front track is 89 1/2" so by adding 1 1/4" spacers it would be 92". The rear track is 89" but by adding 1 1/2" spacers you would bring the track to the same 92".

I'm the world's worse person trying to explain, so please forgive me If I've confused the piss out of everyone 😅
 
I've done this on SXS using different rims offsets. Keep in mind that when your suspension is loaded offroading , it will move outwards and further increase track width. It make cause undesirable handling. But the only way you'll know is to test it out, so I'd give it a go.

Good point. I might just go with 1 1/4s and call it a day
 
Well, guys, it only took 4 months but I FINALLY got my spacers installed. I've used 1 1/4" on the front and 1 1/2" on the back. I'm really happy with the look.

A little late to this thread, but I added 1 1/4” spacers on my 2021 AT4, and the stance was perfect after (much like yours looks)! I hate the inset wheel/tire look myself. Luckily the 2500 ZR2 is fairly flush without any mods.

I agree 100% with you on the tucked wheels. From the factory these trucks looks like a big dude with wide shoulders trying to draw them in.
I'm REALLY happy with the stance and look! I had to shave the front studs down a bit (like others have said) to be able to use the 1 1/4's but there is absolutely no rub lock to lock. And that's with mud flaps and no level or lift!
I love this ol truck!

Yeah, that is wheel dependent. My 18” AT4 wheels fit fine with 1 1/4” spacers without shaving the studs, but it depends on the design (pockets) of the backside of the wheels.
