Do you have a narrowing kit or how are you keeping everything centered?

I am going to wizard racing by my house and a buddy is doing it there. He did the rear end i bought with my wheels but i couldn't use it because it didn't have sensors and the axles were smaller OD.

I will get as many pictures as possible

Couldn't find a complete setup in the budget i felt was fair. So if i run across something i cant pass up then i am sure i'll end up going 4wd/awd

All i have to do now is clean the tubes out, start putting it back together.
I have all new parts for the rear end. My tru-trac looks great, no slack so it'll go back in with roughly 60-65k of abuse on it
The oil that came out when i pulled it apart, didn't have any shavings or anything so i feel it'd be fine.

I am relocating the shocks to the rear, so lets hope that goes smooth.
What degree is most people running on their relocated shocks? I am not running an adjustable shock yet, as i just want it back on the road.

So did you cut the tubes off where it necks up by the center of the housing?
