Default Wider stance in the front?

I was hoping someone could tell me why the distance between my front tires is 4" wider than that of my back tires...? Everything runs, drives, and works just fine, but it's weird and I've never noticed it on another truck.

hm that is weird. stuipd question but your tires are the same size right? and they look like the stock rims so the backspacing on them would be the same. my only guess would be that it has something to do with the monsterous plow on the front of your truck but I dont see how that would affect it

Just put four brand new snow tires on the truck. All are 265 75 16. All rims are original as well. The tires are correct as the distances from inside sidewall and outside sidewall are concurrent with measurements above.

As far as the plow goes, I did that myself and the truck had the weird stance when I bought it long before the plow

Except for the optional rear steer axle, they were all built with the front a little wider than the rear.
3.1" total pre 1987

indicates a 4.68" difference for 1998 K2500.
