I need to know how far the back wheel should stick out from the tree bar.I know it is a little bit,but just want to make sure it is not to far.I took a straight edge across the back tire and i have 2.5 in. to the tip of the tree bar.Could some of you measure yours and let me know what yours is.I have a Beeline Cobra frame with firestones.

Mine stick out 1/2 inch past the tire. Don't get them to close to the tire or the tire will rub it when it is in full compression. Tack it on then get 5 of your buddies to bounce it hard to compress the suspension all the way to check for clearance.
