Another project you may consider is to set your differential back a tad. Looking at the difference between front wheel-well clearance to front of the tire vs. rear well-clearance to rear of the tire caught my attention, as someone pointed out on mine. I had to move my diff'l., and it was not a bad job at all. Did not even have to alter my driveshaft, as when u add to the front another, say half-inch clearance, u remove the same half-inch from the rear--kinda like the tail wagging the dog, giving you twice the overall result from half the movement! [Really makes life good!]

If u do this, whoever alters the tr. arms would be well-advised to slice them at an angle, using the traditional "Z-CUT" to provide longer/stronger re-weld seams. Made quite a noticeable difference in the from-the-side look on my ride, and I think it may do a wonderful and enjoyable improvement on yours.

Keep up the good and fun-filled work. Often there are little, inexpensive things that make huge improvements; and the rewards from 'just lookin' and thinkin' up things that help can be priceless.

Why not just add a spacer block to the rear of the crossmember, bolt it between the mounting brackets and the crossmember.....voilla the rear end is spaced back 1-1.5" depending on the thickness of the material one uses.........Kieth
