Re: Rear axle centering to bed wheel well

I cut a pie piece out of my Jimmy. It's about 6" long and 5/8" wide at the very bottom. This makes the wheel well almost perfectly round removing the "hook". I also re-drilled the perches on my 9.5" sf 14 bolt to move it back. I needed to move mine as much for the custom driveshaft I had made for the 12 bolt because the nose of the 14 was longer. But it is centered quite well and doesn't grab the lip on big bumps any more.
