Wheel spacers

Buddy has a 94 f150 4x4 but with the 5.8 he just got 2in wheel spacers on the back tires but not the fronts he thinks he will be okay with just having em on the back.. But isn't 2inch spacers alot? Will it hurt anything just having on the back?

It will be fine. It actually "safer" to have them just on the back

Yes. I run 2" spacers Just on the rear of my white/blue truck

Running them in the rear is like running blocks. They add more stress to things because they move the leverage point. In the rear it is not too much of a concern. but running them in the front, you add side load(when turning) and that REALLY adds stress

That way the back tires track even with the front
