Re: moving rear T.A. crossmember back.. How far?
Never heard of moving the cross member to center the diff. What truck do you have, panard bar? If you are lowered or raised you'll need and adjustable panard bar to center the diff. If stock and the diff is not centered it's bad bushings.

jcblue,
It all depends on how much you've lowered it. If it's just a bit, you might get by with just some spacers for where the trailing arms mount to the crossmember. I'd eyeball it and see where you like it. If it's got a c notch, you'll want to keep that allignment in mind too. |

I've seen that most move back 1 inch. Which seems to get it centered pretty well. Im getting ready to move mine back as well.
