Can't Unsee It Now!
 

One of my first vehicles was a 1967 Blazer. I have owned them for different year models with different tire sizes my entire adult life. Tonight, my son and I were looking over some of the work we did on the front end, and he said, "Hey, why are the front tires sticking out further from the fenders than the rear tires?". Turns out, they have been like that for every model Blazer I have ever owned, and they are made that way. I just never noticed it! Now I can't not notice it. I guess it's true what they say... I can show you, but I can't unshow you.

First production Blazer was a 1969 model..

Track widths on this generation were different front to rear by 2-3 inches.

That's why I use rear spacers. Totally changes the look for the better, and no more people coming up to me saying my truck is crab walking.

The track width difference was done intentionally, so that when four wheeling in sand or snow the fronts and rears are both clearing "virgin" material. (ie, the rears are not operating in the ruts created by the front).

That's what I saw in some of my research. I wish someone would tell that to the ruts!!
