Mine is a 2003 CVPI , 32 3/4" center to center as close as I could measure around the exhaust pipe!! It drives and stops great, I have a few pic poster in my album of the installation.

I used his diagram - and had to weld the holes shut b/c they didn't jive with my front end. Measure twice!

Yeah, and then there's the "where do you want the wheel centerline".
Some with heavily lowered trucks have made adjustments in relation to the original axle location to better center the wheel in the fenderwell.
