Re: MII Axle Center

The measurement that you are looking for to start with is Fig 2 which is 18-1/8 from the center of the front spring bolt hole in the frame to the center line of the axle.

NOTE do not remove those cast pieces at the front of the frame horns that the spring bolts were in. They also keep your front bumper brackets located correctly. I've seen some guys take them out thinking they were "cleaning up" the front of the frame when in fact they were making a lot more hassle for themselves when they bolted the bumper brackets back on.
