There 1.25" shorter but from what I read you can't tell there any different than the front. And Save you $130 on spacers.

Yes, you can tell the difference between the stock 30 in the front and an 8.8 out back. They are about 1" narrower. Im running one and Im very happy with it. Disk breaks, posi trac, and stronger than a D44.
