How much would I notice a track diffrence of 2" front to rear?
(smaller in the front)
That would be only an inch on each side. I couldn't imagine that it would be that big of a deal but.....

In the real world, you wouldn't notice it at all. People do it all the time...

almost every vehicle comes from the factory with 2-3" difference front and rear. i believe it's supposed to help with steering.

Temporary fix actually.
Until I get my wider front axle..
For actual wheeling, you probably won't notice anything. For higher speed stuff, a wider front track width will help reduce understeer in the loose stuff. Adjusting track width is a common adjustment in racing. the wider the front width, the more load is placed on the front wheel in turns. It's a leverage thing.

don't worry at all. My track width is all messed up, and it is just fine. You will get used to the subtle difference after 1 run, then you will just feel it...

Yup, not a problem. I actually run a variable track width, meaning I was cheap and got my rims used at a junkyard, 2 of them have an extra 1/2" BS. So, I run one axle with an extra inch total more width. When I rotate tires, I just move them front to rear. So, sometimes my front is wider, sometimes my back is. Can't tell a difference (can't even feel changes in steering, etc).
