Well, I'm trying to get the wheels recentered in the wells. I've never understood what a "spacer" would accomplish. Mine will be longer than the stock unit, adjustable, and offer more articulation.

I would think a spacer built correctly with some offset would put the A ram back to the original level and angle the axle correctly.

Not to highjack or anything but lifting over 3" or recentering the rear axle will cause trouble with the rear driveshaft,remember you want to lift and set the axle back farther and our rear axle slip-yoke's probally will not be long enough.Everyday driving may be fine but offroading the rear driveshaft may slip out of the transfer.Just my 2 cents though.

I'm well over 3" now and have not had any driveshaft issues. When I recenter the wheels, I'll check the driveshaft again.

Actually in a full stuff condition it looks to me like there is only room to move the axle 1/2" back to make it centered unless bump stops are being used to limit compression.

One could even elongate the LCA mounting hole to gain that much.
