What is a 1/8" spacer going to do, Allen?
Exactly what I was thinking. Or even a 1/4” one.

My garage is 33'x25' [emoji7]Love a garage that can hangar a 19 foot long truck!
I got 1/4” for the rear to quit rubbing on the rear fender liners under articulation going into parking lots with the 305/50/20s.
the thing is, adding rear spacers widens the track width, which will effect the handling characteristics. So I got 1/8” ones for the front to not mess with the difference in track width too much. I don’t know about the SUVs but with the trucks the front ran about 1.5” wider than the rear, and I wanted to maintain most of that. With the 1/8” ones on front the 305s actually poke a little bit.

Yep!
Only 3 major Class 7/8 truck manufacturers now.
Daimler has Freightliner, Western Star & Sterling (used to be Louisville and Ford before that)
Paccar has Kenworth and Peterbuilt
Volvo Has Volvo and Mack.
Edit: Forgot about International so 4
When I was in the business, Internationals were a maintenance nightmare. Even our church buses! And those 1990s Sterlings were worse! Volvo's had a unique rear suspension with a dog bone that was constantly breaking and wearing out bushings. Mack's were expensive but tough, Freightliner's were the Chevrolets of trucks and KWs the Cadillacs!
Those 1000 cubic inch Macks could pull a mountain!
I get using 1/4" to get rid of a rub, but 1/8" to maintain track width? An 1/8"?! Who you kiddin?![]()
I know I have posted these before but thought I would share with all the "Big Rig" talk going on...
My last Pete that I custom ordered... Had everything color matched... Grille surround, headlight buckets, fuel tanks, air cleaners, drop visor, door visors.

Yeah, I call BS on the 1/8” spacer making a difference in tracking as well but if it floats your boat, more power to ya!
That’s a nice looking rig my friend. Always have appreciated the different ways guys have customized their trucks.
There is a truck stop near me, I-80 Truck Stop in Walcott, IA, that holds a truckers jamboree every year where folks bring their trucks and show them off.

That museum is very cool, indeed.Yes... I have been to "The World's Biggest Truckstop" before... pretty cool place... the Big Truck museum out back is pretty cool as well.
Nice steal...Thanks Buddy, I take a lot of pride in that Yukon.
I have a FOXWELL NT510, it can do a lot of features but not everything the Tech 2 can. I wish it would let me program the dang navigation radio that I just scored at the local junk yard! Scored a Navi out of a 2012 Denali for $100 yesterday, but it is Vin locked

Good luck...I couldn't believe when they said $100 for it. I already have the UQA package from the factory so it should be plug and play with the vin relearn to unlock it. Fingers crossed!
