Question Narrower track width in the rear?

Any advantages running narrower track width in the rear?

I have been thinking about it but not sure if it would help or hurt.

I believe it helps. When you have the front wide, you can usually use dig to control it. The rear on the other hand is going to track and follow the front. Having the rear narrow will give you a better chance of keeping the rear end away from gates. I run mine like this and I know a few of the "big dogs" do too.

it gives you a better turning radius, infact many trucks and SUVs that are somewhat long are bult this way from the factory

I was wondering if this would help or hurt. I may have to pick up a pair of Vanquish Pro Comp Hex Spacer 460's for my rear wheels and try it out.

I ordered Eritex's adjustable offset wheels exactly for this. got them in last week and got to run the truck last sunday.

It still felt planted on off camber's and felt a lot easier to keep the rear clear of gates and objects. Worked well for me.
