No, its an OBS axle, which has a .5" smaller WMS to WMS measurement, so only 0.25" narrow on each end. Its on a 99 so the spring perch width is the same 99 and up. You WILL have clearance issues if you dont use a spacer, and depending on how wide of a wire you use you may need upwards of a 2" one.

This is with a 2.5" spacer

I'm fine with running a spacer just don't really want the wheels to stick out much. 275/50-17 is what I'm looking to run. What do u think. Any side pics to see how much they stick out??

I just switched mine from 2.5" spacers to 1.5" and I like the fit a lot better. Still have about an inch to 1.5" from the leaf springs
