Measure roughly 18-19 inches off you back bumper forward, make a mark, measure the distance between that mark and your current rear axle position. That's your number.

my plan on my jeep is to cut the frame in the rear and have a flat warn type of bumper with out a tire carrier that sticks out about half an inch past the body. this will reduce the number of inches i will have to stretch the wheel base with 40in tires to stick out the back a little.

my buddy and i are heading up to indy on the 8th we are going to try running patriot maybe drop into indy (if theres not much snow) you are welcome to come get a first hand experience if you'd like.

Picked the Jeep up yesterday and so far I am very impressed with the highway improvement this system has made. All of the bad manners I was looking to eliminate are gone. Spring rate and valving are right on. I can't wait to hit the rocks!
