Wheel base stretch
So is it actually possible to stretch out the front end with a stock coil seetup? I.E., would i have to relocate spring buckets, or is there like a way to shim the coil at an angle in the stock coil bucket?

It is very common for people to stretch the front by 1.5-2" by using longer control arms.
The main problem with streching the front to much is people run into problems with the steering and trackbar hitting things.

im in the middle of doing it right now...with my tnt truss and custom straight track bar, i had to move my frame side track bar mount forward 2 inches so it would clear the diff. tnt also makes coil bucket with the coils mounted on the center of the axle tube instead of 2 inches out in front. thats what im using i also have wj knuckles and otk steering already so i dont know if you would have to go high steer or not.
