Hello-
I have a 98 Yukon with a Fabtech 6 inch lift. Just looking for a little back ground info if anyone has it. On my truck it seems that the front tires stick our about 1/2 inch wider than the back tires doe. I seem to remember reading it was because of the way the Fabtech lift works for the front half. I guess it is not really that noticeable but I do think it looks silly when I look at it. Are there any mods to fix this or is it just something I have to live with.

knuckle lift. It pushes the front wheels out 1-2" more than the rear. Most guys end up running a 2" spacer out back to balance it out

They are called wheel spacers, they come is a variety of widths also. Tons of people sell them. The debate is 50/50 on them. Some love them, others hate then and have had serious issues with them. I would not use them.

Well I definatley do not want to create more problems than I need too. I am guessing the only alternative is to install a different lift?
