Measurement needed..

[CT Performance Inc.]

Need a measurement from the frame end at the front to the front axle centerline..or the front leading edge of the front body mount to the centerline of the front axle..

Thanks!

Hi Cary,

Did you get what you needed here? I can measure mine, but since I am running a 60 with Duff Arms, I'm not sure how much good it will do you???

If you are setting the location for the axle Centerline, then I usually just put it so that the tie rod clears the pitman arm by 1 inch.

Re: Measurement needed..

The best I can come up with is on a stock height '76 (new WH stock height springs) I eyeballed the distance at 24 7/8" from the passenger side body mount bolt center to the center of the axle tube.
I know you said leading edge of the mount, but I forgot that part when I was under there measuring.

Remember though, that's just eyeballed. And on a stock height truck.

Re: Measurement needed..

Just trying to check that the axle was moved forward 2" from stock..so its got 3" tubes so measuring from tube edge to something that can tell me where stock is would be fine..

Weird...I measure from the passanger side body bolt to center its 29" from the front body mount its 19" and from end of frame its 26"..all eye balling..

The axle looks like its in the stock opening..not 2" forward like it should be..
