Re: Wheels NOT Centered after drop

It would move the axle backwards if the trailing arms were angled down from the frame. As the arms become more horizontal, the axle moves back.

With leaf springs, because the front spring eye is lower than the rear, flip kits move the axle forward.

On shortbox stepside beds, the rear wheel always appears a bit too far back. On the long beds, it always appears a bit too far forward (I think the fender placements are off).
