Default What the hell did I do wrong

So I've nearly wrapped up painting the Blazer kit today, and put the wheels on. When I popped the lid on I realized that the whole wheelbase appears to be set back quite a bit.

What did I do wrong? Bumpers seem to line up, and I built it at wheelbase 4.

Skid plate may be to far back. Take pic with body off.

I need a side view with body off so I can see the frame.

Your skid and slider mounts are for sure one hole back. They need to be even with the flange of the rear section of frame where it ends if that makes any sense. Basically, keep the frame the same but slide skid and slider mounts one hole forward.

Another clue that you have the skid 1 hole too far back is the shocks are not vertical, the side view pic with the body on looks like they are laying over a bit.

Thank you everyone for the help.

Just woke up (I posted yesterday right before I went out for the day), and I am going to try to get it fixed up and out on a trail run this afternoon. It is 10 degrees Celcius today! Toasty warm out.
