rear axle
has anyone out there shortened their rear axle on their fox? How much work does it take? It seems like it would be a lot of trouble. But there just isnt much tire room in the wheel well.

Re: rear axle
Not sure about the axle shortening, but some people curl the small flange in the wheel well up to gain a little extra room.

Re: rear axle
I rolled my wheel well lips and fabed material behind them to create more room . It made a nice rolled edge that is totally smooth and gave it a gasser look.
