JR- You will have to lengthen them. I had some on a 17" WB rig and that was pushing the limit

I started to test fit everything and decided to shorten the wb from 18" to 16". Turning the shafts by hand I was watching them move around way to much and when I was flexing the chassis the front shaft popped out. Plus the axles are more under the chassis a little better now.
