Centering front wheel in well
I have searched on here and seen 3 diff measurements. My truck is all torn apart so I was wondering what the real number of inches forward the x member needs to be? Thanks

You've prob seen 3 diff dimensions because "how much it needs to be" is subjective. Each person possibly started their build @ a different height thus different results. The best way is to measure your ride & decide how much is needed. Without that, 1.5" forward seems to be a consistent dimension that would yield good results.

Like Scoti said, the best way (and the only way to get it just right) is to at least mock up you front clip with the truck at ride height & measure to see how much it needs to move
