Help! Axles are still too short...
To continue the saga from the other forum...I thought I would post it hear to see if anyone could help.

I decided that maybe I did something wrong, or the half shafts I received were faulty. I ordered 2 brand new axle assemblies from Factory Five, Pin Drive Width. I then proceeded to thread my control arm rod ends in 4 threads from where they were, netting about .25" shorter track width per side. This is what I have now...and I am betting that I'll blow them out as well. Look at how far out the bearing is from the housing! What the hell? Am I assembling this wrong? As you can see my alignment is pretty close. At least it was before I threaded the rod ends in further.
Camber is fine...if anything it has too much.
Axle is level...
Rear Rod End...
Front Rod End...
Dang bearing is hanging WAYYYY Out! I already blew out the last axles because of this! The red line is roughly where edge of the housing is behind the boot. This cannot be right!!! Is it?
