Cutting 20" out of the middle & moving everything forward yields the same overall frame length but seems to me it shifts the frame kick-up over the rear end 6" farther forward which in my head impacts the wheelbase.

Am I missing something??
I took 12 out of the center of the frame and 8 off the rear of the frame. Going to take 20" of the center of the bed. Went from a 127 to 115 wheel base.
