Default 07 Z71 6in lift question

Do all 07 and newer silverado 1500 lifted 4wds look like the front end is wider than the rear end tires?...kind of like the rear end is sucked in a bit if you stand or drive behind the truck.

That's because the lift increases the track width bout an inch or so and the rear tires are left alone. Mine did it with my 6" on my 01. Just gotta order rear spacers to even it out

That sounds logical to me but one truck shop here doesn't recomend it be done, did u have any problems after you put the spacers on, what size of a spacer and brand did you use?

Nope...lots of people put them on because that exact reason. And I've got 1.5" rear spacers since my lift pushes the front out 1.5" on each side
