Had same issue with my 48 3/4 ton. Tacked up by suggested measurement and was not centered. I ended up moving it back about 1.5” and then put fenders on to check. Worked fine.

I have a heidts crossmember and followed the directions very specifically. If I remember correctly it was supposed to be 20” back from the front of the frame. I welded it in (was a bare frame) and after I got it assembled it does appear to be an inch or so forward of center. When on the lift they look perfectly centered, but on the ground slightly off. Does not seem to be a big deal and no tire clearance issues. I’m sure I am likely the only one that will notice and only when looking at the truck from a viewpoint that is in line with the spindle |

Oh crap, I installed my ifs per the CPP instructions, on my 54 3600, I hope I'm not screwed. https://www.classicperform.com/Instr...structions.pdf
I currently can't put my sheet metal back on. I added some material to mine, so it's not so low, hopefully that helps with the look. |

If it a Chevy that should work ,gmc frame are longer because the original engine were longer so putting the crossmeber in a gmc it needs another 1 1/2 back then wheels will be centered ,found out the hard way ,had to redo it along with the rack c cut in frame.jason
