Frame Shortening

I have seen all the articles about cutting frames, but how far back does the center crossmember have to move to make the rear axle line up correctly?

crossmembers dont move take a foot out of under the cab and 8 inches off the back you have to relocate the cab mounts but other than that its pretty simple.
