Re: 66 step side rear wheel not centered
The center of the step-side wheel well opening is located right around 1.25" further forward than its fleet-side counterpart. Add in the fact that you moved the bed forward another .75" and your 2" calculation should be pretty close.
It's going to take some thought and planning to make sure everything works right after moving the axle forward. Things to keep in mind: -Coil spring location/clearance at the axle pad (2" will put the coil spring pretty close to the axle saddle) -Shock angle/clearance (with the lower shock mounting location being moved forward the angle on the mounting locations might not be ideal). -Trac bar angle/length/clearance I am sure you will run into a couple smaller issues/concerns, but these are the main ones that jump out. Let us know if we can be of any help in finding a solution. I know you have spoken to Dave already, but let us know if you have any more questions. Nate
