Default Need help with wheel spacers

Well on my 99 dakota i have 3inch body lift with 3inch suspension with stock rims and 33-12.50-15 tires. And right now the front stick in further then the rear bye the looks of it. So i was thinking 1/2inch spacers in the rear and a 1inch spacers in the front. And it should be evan corect?

measure your distance and figure up the difference. Measure inside wheel lip to lip on the wheel write it down. Then measure the front same way, make sure your wheels are as straight as you can get them. It wont be exact, but close enough for wheels spacers. And while we are at it, why space the rear? Just space the front 1/2 inch if that appears to be the difference, unless you just want mud throwing clearance

front tires usually stick out further for a better turning radius. I have a 2" difference with my new axles.
