    Assuming same specs for all wheels and tires, should the fender overhang be the same in the front and back? I haven't done any measurements to mine, but I notice the front is maybe 1/4 or 1/2" less overhang than the rear.

    Just to throw a wrench in, check the overhang in the rear from right to left. That might really piss you off LOL

    The rear axle is offset

    Thanks for that mess! Haha. I measured last night and saw that right side stick out by 1/4" more than left. Not only that, but I get 3/4" more on the rears compared to the fronts. FML for being a stickler for symmetry.

    I fixed my post. Check the difference between left side overhang and right side overhang on the rear of the truck. Just go with it man LOL!

    I installed 1” spacers just on the front wheels. Kind of a weird angle for the picture but it made it look way better imo. But I guess that’s the opposite of your issue haha After my lift I couldn’t handle the shorter track width (steeper control arm angle).
