Looking at pics of other lowered trucks, the wheel looks fine in the wheel well, pulling the wheel forward an inch just doesn't seem like a good idea.
huh, that's interesting. I never really thought through that impact. What hole are you using on the trailing arm mount? I have Qa1 full coilover kit so my trailing arms are adjustable so I can fine tune it when I complete the install.
