Wheel Centering part II
Started working on getting the rearend centered today. I decided to drill a centering hole in the main leaf. I moved it back 2". While I was at it I went ahead and removed two leafs and added the wheel spacers. Worked into the night (sucks not having a garage) but here are the results:
passenger side drivers side I think it turned out pretty good. I'll take some more shots tomorrow.

Re: Wheel Centering part II
looks good, not having a garage makes things take twice as long, I am very lucky to have the shop space I do.

Re: Wheel Centering part II
Looks like it is just right!
What size tires are you using? Can you take a measurment from the rear of the frame hornes to the center line of the axle housing after you moved the axle to the rear. Thanks

Re: Wheel Centering part II
It looks like you have them in the correct location but your decision to drill the leafs went against the advice of about 90% of the people who responded to your first thread on this subject. I hope that decision does not come back to bite you.
