Thanks guys, it`s nice to be able to take my time and think out everything during this, as well as clean it all up -and I won`t go out of my way to get in mud, but it`s hard around here.
I get my c-wedge bushings tomorrow so I`ll be able to see if everything works out as planned tomorrow night, then if the angles are okay I can work on the radius arm brackets and of course finish the radius arms. The people who sell the RA extensions suggest some reinforcement, as in some flat bar welded on edge between the two halves, easy stuff.
I`m kind of letting the front driveshaft dictate where the axle will end up. right now I`m roughly set at 1.5 inches forward of bumpstop center, with the driveshaft slip joint about ( I figure) where it sat previously. My fenders are trimmed already, and already fit 33" easy. (my mod thread in my sig shows that process, if anyone needs to see)
Also, if I can butt my yet to be fabbed crossmember with radius mounts right up to my stock tranny mount, that may be the final decider. It`s close to being that way now. Gotta measure more but it would be cool if it worked out that way...

How far forward are you moving the axle from stock? I moved mine about 2-3" forward to help with running the bigger tires.
