Correct me if I am wrong, but I just measured my front end to be about 5'4" and the rear to be 5'2" on my 2002 S10 CC 4wd. So the wheels follow the same groove in the road and handle a bit better, wouldn't that mean I would want a 1" spacer on each side?
Do my measurements sound right, or am I horrible with a measuring tape?
I do see a lot of people running 1.25" spacers... So I could be off...

The 1.25 will line them up good. Unless you raised up the t bars. Then a one inch will work. If you lowered the t bars then a 1.5 spacer will work.
I run a 1.5 and they look lined up to me...

I raised my Tbars 3 turns... so like 3/4th an inch... I was thinking 1's... but don't I have to like cut the stud than? I don't want to do that... what will go on, line up decent, and I won't have to do any cutting. I just want to put them on, torque em, than throw my wheels back on... And hopefully have everything all stock sizes...

I did not have to cut anything... Just get 1.25 or 1.5's and be done with it.
I put 1" spacers on my S15 and it lines up good, I like it.

Did you have to cut your studs to be shorter EM?
No they were the bolt on style spacers.
