Is it going to make that much of a difference shortening it? I see there is a stock hole in the frame behind the front body mount that you could probably move it to and take off about two inches off the frame. Just curious if its worth it. It looks like the radiator would be right up against the steering box if this is done.

It looks like the radiator would be right up against the steering box if this is done. That's where I shortened mine too, knowing that I'll have to use a narrower radiator to clear the steering gear. This is my first one, so I have nothing previous to compare it to.

Couldn't go back too far before the front tires start hitting the A pillars.

They are kind of tight as is. One would have to use a pretty lo-pro tire to get away with it.

Yeah, I'm sure it could be done with the right A-arm/spindle/tire combo and maybe a little massaging of the firewall. What size tires are on that? H 78 15. Don't ask me to translate that to metric, but they do seem a bit tall.

Would it be a good idea to tuck the trunk in more of a stock show with no threaded rod?
