strange 12 bolt problem i just bolted up a strange 12 bolt and the unit came with relocation brackets already welded on. the problem is that the unit is sitting to far back and we cant move the unit forward. is this a normal problem and will adjustable lca fix the problem?
You could cut and re-weld the brackets or just pick up a set of adjustable LCA's.
We do have our rod ended LCA's set at a special currently. Click suspension link listed below. Savings are over 50.00 then competitors similar setups.

If the relocation brackets are welded on correctly, then the LCA should just drop down from the original hole but still be in the same arc. Lowering the LCA's limits wheel hop.There should be little or no LCA adjustment necessary as then you get into moving the location of spring pockets, sway bars etc.

Bigdsz,
I think that is the problem, the brackets probably weren't welded on the correct angle to keep the original LCA arc.
18.5" is different then stock. Many times, wheels need adjusted as the stock location is typically not centered. It becomes more apparent with larger diameter wheels where centering in the wheel-well is more critical. As Bigdsz stated, you wouldn't want to move the rear too much due to driveshaft and other suspension issues. +-.5" is pretty common which is certainly within the range of a typical LCA.
I'm assuming the poster measured the length he stated to center the wheels in the wheel-well area, not just connect it to the LCA.
As suggested, I'd consider shortening the LCA so that he would have a more suitable working range of adjustment. At his setting, he'd be at about the mininum length center-center with typical adjustable LCA, if he needed to adjust them more inward to center the wheel more, he may be out of range.
