wouldn't it be just as easy to change the tub?

Not sure which post you are referring to; if mine, our options are:(1)Owner wants to stay with this size tire and ride height, and there isn't enough room at front of 1/4 to move axle forward. (2)Reshape rear of tub area. So we sliced the tub about 5" on each side and added filler metal, and trimmed about 1 1/4" across trunk floor. Pass side is done - only took about 1 1/2hr. I have to trim an electronics panel on the drivers side, which is no big deal, then modify the tub and then there will be plenty of clearance.
