It has been a while since i have been on here, and i can't seem to find the search button, so please forgive me if this has been asked before..

I am looking into moving my rear axle back an inch or so and the front axle foward an inch or so. after looking under my truck i have a question...
What happens to the u-bolts? i'm thinking that they will no longer run straight up and down..am i correct? do they run at a slight angle..

I have been trying to picture this in my head using ORD's zero rates, and by just redrilling the spring perches... and everything i think of says that they will run at an angle.

can someone post pics of their u-bolt set up after relocating the axle, and please post them in a way that i may see them, as i am currently unable to purchase another membership at this time.

thank you for your help..
 
yeah you gotta cut a hole in your plate to house the centering pin like this
