Re: Frame shortening

I have done a few of these both ways. One thing I liked about moving the trailing arm crosmember forward is that I could adjust for the weird rear wheel too far forward in the opening thing the fleetsides have. Remove your 12" but take a few measurements and a good look at your wheel position. I have found that moving the crossmember 11" centers the wheel in the opening and cutting 12" allows for the correct bed to cab gap.
