Just for kicks I measured the wheel base it's 114 5/8". I tried to talk to Porterbuild but I can't get them to call me back. EC told me that they only can shorten the trailing arms by 1" .I need more.
After looking at a old trailing arm I think I could take 2 to 2.5" out between the axle and spring.
Has anyone done this?
