I can't remember is the front or the rear that sticks out further? How much is it, and is it the same for a 2wd?
 
The front is 1.5 inches wider on straight front axles, per side. I cannot say for two wheel drive models, or IFS models.

Straight axle 1/2 tons the front axle is a total of 3" wider then the rear. 3/4 ton and up, iirc, are the same. 2wd are the same, and ifs are the same.

I don't think this is accurate.

Pretty sure on 3/4 and 1 ton straight axles the fronts are wider than the rear. Also pretty sure the IFS trucks, at least the '88-'98 styles are the same way especially the 8-lug 2500's which are noticably wider.
 
Yeh my 3/4ton the front tires are about 2" out of the fenders the rears are barely out, I need some wheel spacers to make it look right.
