Axle length

I was putting tire on my 71 Blazer and noticed that the front tires were sticking out farther than the back so i measured the distance between the tires the front was 581/4 the back was 56 inches is this normal or did one of the axles get replaced and which one? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Axle length

Nope that’s factory. Pretty much all GM K’s have the front track width wider than the rear.

Re: Axle length

Yep, you'll get people driving behind you telling you your truck is crabbing because they can only see one side
