1-3/4 inches in front of the centerline of the axle.

This being the drawing from the PFD in the Vehicle information kit. This is the drivers side. Where you can see the centerline of the axle is behind the pad that bolts to the spring and that circle on that pad is the bushing for the bolt that the axle hinges on to allow the enclosed driveshaft to work without binding up the spring.
