Default front axle move

Hi!
i have a jeep XJ with a 4.5'' lift kit in it and 32x11,5x15 BF-MT on 15x10'' rims.the problem i have is the wheel catch when i turn.
can I move the front axle forward by a inch?
i will do this by fitting longer upper and lower control arms to move the wheels away from the fender.
can this be done?

With that much lift you should have at least lower contol arms anyway,Have you had your caster checked or know what it is?
