yup, my axle got pushed forward about 1.5 inches. the 4 link is one of the greatest mods out there in my opinion
click on my signature and go through my build thread to check out how i did it feel free to ask any questions.....kudos goes to cornshuck though, he's the one who did this first

I've also done the 4-link. (kept the front axle in the same place) it works but could be improved.

Sorry ariens. I forgot who all is doin 4 link now. They all look good. Really improves drivabilaty. And handeling. And i think the extra weight in my case really helps balance out the mower.
