I understand the why... all of us with "triangulated" suspensions (non-leafs) have this problem. I chose to pull my bed forward, which captured about an inch of this offset problem. I also plan to build some spacers to squeeze between the xmember and the trailing arm mount to resolve the rest. I think 7deuce's rear frame and suspension look great... just would like to see more of us low folks resolving these aesthetic problems. BTW, when you do extreme lowering, the front of these trucks' wheel offset is even worse.

As for ... :m4:
