I had a 88 truck 4x4 with 4in body lift and it work fine for me. I didn't put them on. It came that way.

Just curious, but why do you need these?

All things equal, wide wheel track is good for stability but just adding spacers won't really improve any aspect of the trucks performance.

It just gives it a wider stance and allows for better tire clearance too...and plus it looks cool!
