other than having to take the cab off again, looks pretty straight forward, drill some new holes and move the whole unit forward, shorten the driveshaft, but what about the spring mounts?
is the crossmember too far back, and are your springs leaning to the front a little bit?

I agree with the couple of people that said it is safer to move that crossmember than shorten the stock trailing arms

I guess the other question is how close to 115 is your wheelbase right now?

just checked out your build, looks nice!

another thought.. cpp ads that I have seen show aftermarket trailing arms.. I wonder if those could be ordered , or retro fitted for what you need.
