Stock uppers and pinion angle

I want to scoot my axle forward 1/2-1". Anyone know if that's possible w/the stock uppers? Or will the pinion angle be too bad? 3" lift.

With adjustable LCAs and stock uppers? You'd just be roatating it.

Bad Idea you'll be pointing the Pinion down messing with the caster and creating Deathwobble.

If you want to stretch get some Adjustable Uppers also then you can pitch the top forward and get your caster the proper angle.

I stretched my front 1.5" when I installed my Adjustable Uppers and Lowers on my XJ with 3.5" lift
