Widening the rear track?
I'm thinking about widening the rear track of my Blazer to match up with the front a little better. I've been looking at 1.5" or 2" aluminum spacers. Is anyone running these?

Re: Widening the rear track?
Just noticed this. I have spacers on my rear, I think 1.5's. Not had a problem with them so far.
:edit: picture on page 5 of build thread, link on page 7

I accomplished getting them even with wider wheels/tires in the rear than the front. Worked out very well.

Looks good, I believe I'll be ordering a set of 1.5's.

Re: Widening the rear track?
That's what I run, 1.5 s. Just ensure you follow the torque specs when installing them. Also, I used longer studs in the axles to mount them.
