Wheel question

I know this has been brought up many times before but I am not if the front or back axel is shorter. If some one could answer this really quick I would appreciate it.

Also from the people that have used wheel spacers could you tell me what sizes you have used with your wheels.

Thanks

It's the rear axle that's a bit shorter than the front. Not sure on the wheel spacers though.

I think that the rear track is 2" narrower than the front. Some one was making the spacers specifically to make the front & rear tracks the same. You might check over on ColoradoK5.com
