I've really thought about these for a '96 K2500 Suburban. The rear track is definitely narrower. They are expensive, though. I wonder if the improvement is all that obvious.

 

for towing i would stay away from anything putting more leverage on the bearings/hub/housing, as well as the studs

 

Come to think of it, I've never had any problem towing. Moved a 40 foot trailer this month, too. I just noticed the wheel track. It's probably no big deal.

 

I had wheel spacers on my monster truck (avatar). It weighed 9200 lbs. and had 49" tires. In the many, MANY miles I put on it with the spacers I never once had an issue. I even had a wheel break while going down the interstate and the spacer never flinched.

There are, however other options to consider. CorrecTrack is expensive....go to www.performancewheel.com. That's who made my spacers. Yes, they are aluminum but for what I put them through, I figure that they must be strong.

Just being on the rear isn't going to cause much of an issue. There aren't any ball joints or steering angles to screw up and besides, just think of the asthetics!!! It'll look so much better.

Thanks for your input. Seems to me that I'd be ok with my truck if those spacers withstood use on your truck. Thanks again.
