If you put it over the flange you must cut the flange down to fit inside the rotor. There is not enough mattrial inside the rotor to cut it down enough. It is easyer to cut some off each.
I have mine with the rotors behind the axle flange. This is not always possible with stock shafts(they have uneven cast on the back side some times).
Since the caliper mount is welded on you can choose where you put the rotor. The only down fall of having it behind is if the rotor needs replacing you have to pull the shaft off.
You should always replace the lug studs when replacing a shaft.
With the rotor on the flange you need longer lug studs.
I can always post more pics of my setup if people would like.

that would be helpful Matt. Will the longer studs have longer splines to engage the axle flange from behind?Thanks again,Chuck
