    I'm currently looking at a 4" spindle lift kit through headstrong offroad. I've heard that with spindles, the front will be wider than the rearend. I've heard of putting wheel spacers on the rear to even it up but I really want to avoid doing that. Is there anything I could do as far as backspacing to keep the rear just as wide as the front?

    That would be the most UN-recommended way. It really isnt suggested due to rotating tires at that point,.

    Spacers wont harm if you use 3/4" on the rear. Also keep in mind you cant use your stock rims.

    Thanks man! I really appreciate it. It's gonna be a little longer before I get everything. I haven't decided 100% on the wheels yet. I know I want a lot of black and very little chrome.

    They look good. I'm really leaning toward those fuels wrapped in trail grapplers for now.
