Should I move the front axle back or leave as is?

Tires are 37x12.5x17 PBR's.
Leafs are Rears up fronts.

Frame height is right around 24" right now.

Ignore the shackle angle for now.

Test flex it and see if your tire is hitting the fire wall then you will have your answer.

Doesn't hit firewall. But will hit the front stuff.

Hey Greg,
What rims are you running.
Anyway I think the front is far enough forward.
