I'm going to say that the red one is close to 2 inches in front of the original axle center line but it may be a subframed truck rather than a MII style setup.

One of my buddies did so many subframe swaps over a 25 year period he lost or quit counting. He would set the axle center line an inch in front of the original and that seemed to look pretty good on the ones that I saw that he did.

It's still your personal preference as to where you set them. It is what looks best to you.

I have to agree that it is super hard to get the front end on an AD or TF set so it looks good parked with the wheels turned a bit. It's one of those little nitpicky things that always bugs me on my own rig.
