Default Autofab 4-link

I received my 4-link solid axle kit from Autofab today! Purchased from currie a weld up 9 inch rear end and 11 inch explorer brake kit! What I would like to know from other people that have done this , is what are your axle housing dimensions from axle flange to axle flange, center of pumpkin to drivers side axle flange and center of pumkin to passenger side axle flange and what tire and wheel size you used and backspacing of wheels. I just need to hear from people that have done this not opinions on why I shouldn,t.

I didn't give an opinion, I asked a simple question. Sorry if that offended you.

Posting a question on an anonymous web chat forum and saying you don't want opinions is kinda funny though.

You should be able to get it figured out based on your wheel/tire comb and offset. Put the wheels under the car on each side where you want them for your preferred look and measure from mounting surface to mounting surface. I have seen this done a lot on the mustangs and fairly early vettes, but not on a C6. Although you should get some answers. There's a lot drag guys here that have probably make this conversion
