Fabrux Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 To preserve the frame geometry and keep everything where it should be, you need to add 18 scale inches in front of the front spring perches and 6 scale inches behind them. This will convert your 6 foot bed frame into an 8 foot bed frame and should have the end result of centering the axle with the bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
