I have always thought that the 3" shorter rear axle made the stance of a 1st Gen Blazer look a little off. Recently I saw a review on coloradok5.com about wheel spacers. I was thinking that this may be a good idea.
Then a trusted mechanic told me that this 3" difference was by design so that the rear wheels did not track right on top of the front wheel tracks. This may help in a mud situation and could give the rear wheels something to bite on being slightly offset.
Well.. my new K5 will never see the kind of off road action my old K5 saw on a regular basis. So, I'm not that concerned about the extreme off road traction.
Has onyone tried the rear wheel spacers? Does your truck look better? Track better on the street or off road? CK5.com seems to think so.
Here is a link to the review:
