Thanks Guys... i check out the manual and for some reason found it for another year but not for 54... I found someone with a 1.5 ton or 2 ton at 26-13/16 but it just sounded so short, i needed a double take.
I thought the frame got wider at the front so i figured they would follow it. Seems real close... i would think they would have placed them wider for lateral stability.
I've been reading up with the idea of swapping a Dana 60 front axle into a 1-ton for 4wd. the length looks liek it will work but at 26" I imagine the passenger side spring mount would interfere with the pumpkin...
thoughts?
