    If you wheels/tires stick out past the rear quarters...I would say you do need to be concerned about the backspacing.

    In the pic it looks like it sticks out. But it clears the fenders. And don't scrape on anything

    Not that it matters now, but Yukon axles are crap. I recently had to replace one on my 96 E150 van that had only 10K miles on it. It was a year and a half old and guess what ? The warrantee was for only a year.

    Aren't Maverick rear brakes 1-3/4? That ad said 1.5".
