moving axle one inch backwards

I think the stock gas tank won't fit anymore, and the shock bushings are gonna take a beating.

Wouldn't cutting the mud collectors off, in front of the wheels, provide enough room?and be the cheapest easiest solution, coupled with a 1/4 inch perch spacer?I think there was a how-to thread on FABO here a few months ago. I mean it's just a little piece of sheet metal. If that's all it takes, Bam!

Have you ever tried drilling a hole in a spring? Buy a box of bits.And use a drill press. Be sure to chamfer the holes.
the tires will rub on the quarters. See the Pictures provided here.
Yes, i do think about the Shocks. But it seems to work for others here pretty well.
And yes, i did already drill a hole in a leaf spring. Just in one layer and that was in deed an experience hahahaha...
