I have a stock 1997 GMC suburban k2500 and the wheels stick out further in the front. I don’t really like the look and I don’t want to put spacers on the back. Anything I can do to suck the wheels in some?
Front wheels track wider than rear?

Even more awesome in person
Nope. The front track is the width it has to be due to the design of the front differential, CV joints, suspension, etc. If you were talking about a 1500 2WD you could get narrowed control arms, those are offered for the lowered crowd.
A pair of high-quality bolt-on spacers for the rear are pretty much your only sensible option. It's a common aesthetic complaint on the 4x4 trucks.

Spacers or swap rears from a van. Spring n shock mounts will need to be moved but not real big deal.

I've got a set of 1.5" hub centric spacers if you're interested. They cost me $81 new, I've never used them. (went with a pair of 2" on my 2500)
$70 plus shipping and they're yours.

What brand mfgr or online store would you recommend for the 5x5 2wd
2” spacers ! As in realllll good quality. Maybe even with forged studs . Curious because there really isn’t no visual way to identify junk to mediocre to great wheel spacers until they break ! And you loose your wheels I’ve heard .
I’m in the same boat I need good set for the rear I’m back lifted again ‘ and need that stance equal to the front.
Bora.
Steel!!! What about rear wheels with more offset?
