All of this true track talk has reminded me I have a new set
of true tracks for 2 wheels still in the box. I bought them last year
and I am not going to install them. Let me know off net if anyone is
interested,$180.+ ups.

Hi Larry, are these the wheel extenders for the front, which push the
tires out so they track in-line with the rear?

True Tracks are used on the rear bogies (usually middle wheels only) to help keep the front bogie pointing straight ahead.

Here are the spacers for the front wheels, just called Spacers at Applied.

I'd save the money from the spacers and put it in the cookie jar towards the one ton upgrade.

I think I know where the confusion comes from...

At one time there was a product called "Correct Track" or something like that... they were spacers used on the front of our GMC's IIRC they were LUG Centered.
