First fitup of front axle to see where things will line up. The axle is forward about two inches from stock.

Too bad they don't look like this very long.

First time on the new axles. This should be real close to the final ride height. The axle centers are 21 inches off the ground.

This is about the final position for the tire. It'll take quite a bit of trimming to make this fit with a low lift (4-6 inches).
