I know this thread is old, but maybe you are still around...

I see you used Marlin 4" front springs.  And looking at one of the pictures above you moved the front hanger forward, but how much?  You have a lot of room between the tire and the rear of the front fender, just curious as to how far forward you moved the hanger and if you did anything else to get the front axle forward, it looks great!
