The 3600 frames are 36" wide from about the middle running board bracket to the rear of the frame.
But I think that shock mounts could be moved just inboard of the frame on a 3100, as long as the frame taper is dealt with. It could be equivalent of mounting the shocks just outboard of the frame on a 3600.
