Re: Why the different axles lengths?

I think one of the reasons why I generally like the look of Dodge and import trucks is because the front and rear track widths are the same or nearly so. GM and Ford both had different widths.

I really want to make mine wider in the rear, I don't like the "tucked in" look. Good tip on the 1.5" adapters. Anyone have any experience with how long the axle bearings last with those?
