how much should I narrow my rear axle? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm planning on running 24 x 12 inch wheels in the rear. I'm trying to figure out how much I should narrow the rear axle. I saw on here one time a "famous" orange and white standard cab bagged square that was owned by some brothers I think; the other had a light blue / white square. The orange one had 12 inch wide rear wheels. I liked the offset. One of his threads on here stated how much he'd narrowed the rear axle but I cannot seem to find the post. I believe it was 4 inches on each side.

Any thoughts from anyone?

Also, anybody know where I might get a rear axle narrowed in the Baldwin County / Mobile County Alabama area?
