wheelbase

Rc 4.5 x-flex adjustable control arms. Before the lift wheelbase was 102" now that the lift is done the wheelbase is 100". I set the lengths of the control arms to the installation manual specs. How much does this affect tire wear? It drives very similar now that its done but I don't want to mess up my new tires

If your alignment is OK tire wear should be OK, a slight change in wheelbase shouldn't hurt anything. I'm curious why it changed 2" though. I assume the front moved back a bit?
