If anything you'd want the front to be wider than the rear. This keeps your turning radius tight. If your rear is wider than front you will have a shit turning radius. Add wheel spacers to the front to match the rear at least if you have to.

order the front pr44 at 68.5", so when you do a 60 in the rear they will be the same. u do know u can get the pr44 in alternate widths, right?

Yes, forgot about that. Order the front at 68.5". Trust me you'll want your axles at 68.5" wide. Just plain looks badass!

Not only does wider look better,, it is more stable! To me,, that is very important considering your jeep gets increasingly less stable with lift. I went 68.5 front and rear. Very happy
