The 3" Fabtech spindle will increase you track width 1" per side

Rough Country also sells a 3" lift spindle with which you can run stock wheels.

I am running the 4" CST spindles, and the fronts do stick out an inch or two farther than the rears. Here's a pic:

I ran 3" fabtech spindles on my truck and yes they stick out about 1" more. They make your turning radius suck even more.

So do the CST's, they make your turning radius about as bad as an 88-98 truck. It doesn't make your truck unusable or anything, but it does get annoying in the tight stuff.
