Uneven trac width.

You will lose some turning radius.

Why do you want the rear wider? or do you need the spacer/adapter to change bolt pattern?

I am running wider in the front by about 1.5"

Very true. Most vehicals are narrower in the back so they turn sharper, if you think about it it makes sense. I have a waggy 44 in the back which believe it or not is narrower than a XJ rear axle by more than an inch. I can deffinently tell a differnce in how tight it turns, it is quite noticable! I would therefore think the same would be true for a wider rear axle but the reverse effect.

If you want a different bolt pattern it only cost me around $100 to have both axle's and drums redrilled for 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern.

Just to be more stable. I've been in a couple of rollovers. CJ7 that almost broke my neck and VW converted buggy that cartwheeled 7 or 8 times to the bottom of a hill. I have a stought rear end that could handle the extra stress and it's just somthing that would make me more comfortable. I just don't want to curse the thing if it makes the tires in the way of all the trail obsticles and was wondering if it's hard to get used too.

I ran a full width (plus) 60 in the rear and an XJ 30 in the front until I could get the 44 done. I didn't take it on any trails, but I drove it to work everyday. I lost significant turning radius, but we're talking about almost 10" of track width difference!
