Hey Mikel, How did you get the 29.5x9 Slicks under there?
Mine are 27.5 and look to be as close up front as yours, but you have way less room at the back side, where mine has loads of room.
Was the rear shifted back slightly?

 

You guys are on leaf springs no? All u need to do is shift the rearend back on the leafs n get a slightly longer driveshaft. Then you can fit larger tires no?
