Re: Project Ol' Blue

[QUOTE=dragginmetal;5509065]Did you relocate your axle back ¾”-1”? This usually fixes that and it puts the rear wheels back center of the wheel wells.

no i didnt. i put them back on like they came off. i didnt measure the tire in the wheel wells before hand. i guess i took for granted that they were centered from the factory. this is my first time doing an axle flip. so by your pic it looks like i measure forward 1" from the center of the existing holes and drill new ones? and on the plate that goes between the top of the u bolt and the spring...will that still allow the u bolt to properly seat on that plate? it looks like your hole is drilled in the seat rise. and with the holes being offset will the retention strength still be there?
