Do you have wide fender flares? If so, then it's a Wide Track.

no mine is only a 2 door and it has the very large fender flares. but what does wide trac and narrow trac mean? just code names?

Your axels are approx. 6" wider (3" per side) than a NT Wagoneer or NT Cherokee. Alot of NT owners upgrade to WT axels when they go with a lift.

WT axels will help a lifted vehicle have a more stable stance....less likely to tip. Wider IS better. :D :D
