Oh I understand that you have the shortest and the longest with your method, but as Uncle Bob pointed out it's often that little "tweak" that makes the world right for the "look" on wheel position. My point is that arbitrarily choosing that mid-point is pretty much a crap shoot. You don't want the longest, especially considering the light loading on a truck, but you also don't want the shortest, and what spot in between is going to be right? Like Uncle Bob said, you can relocate the pin hole in the axle spring pad to fine tune. Sure, getting it square & tracking is #1 (first line from Uncle Bob), but once that's done you're chasing the "right look".
