Wink Shortened housing??
Can somebody tell me how much you can shorten a rear end before you have to start moving mounts?

3" is the normal amount you can have them shortened and keep all stock suspension items. Bob

MWC can narrow up to 6 inches per side with a narrowed LCA bracket, the inboard side is still in the factory location. We can do 5-5.5" with the full stock width bracket.
