I guess what I'm worried about or not understanding is how does using the 7900FM ends affect the bearing placement in regards to the axle flange? Currently, the bearing sits just outside the flange. The picture of the 7900FM makes it appear that the bearing will be inline or inside of the flange. Will this result in more of the axle sticking out beyond the bearing and be unsupported compared to factory GM? Yes, Ford's are typically 2.375" or 2.5", others hang out even more Does this matter? I'm probably over thinking this.
Thanks Mike.
