John and I got my Jeep all set up today. We got the pinion angle set and we stretched the wheel base close to 3 to 4 inches, my wheel base is now 97 inches. I am still going back another 2 inches in the rear and the front will go forward another 1 inch, so I can get to 100 inches. Tomorrow I am doing a modified comp cut on my jeep to accommodate the current wheel base. Photos to follow....

Glad you said that so I didn't have to post this:

Keep stretching and soon you'll be as cool as a Toyota.

What's the difference in wheelbase between Rob now, and your unlimited Justin?

I am at 105" right now. I think with a little arm adjusting, I could get 107".

Offline Rob, how do you get the control arms that long? Did you lengthen them, or move the brackets back?

I purchased new RE control arm couplers that are an inch longer and then lengthened my arms two inches, plus I got about an inch or two when I lowered my Jeep. My rear arms are almost parallel to the frame now. I still need to move the upper spring buckets back a few inches. When I move them back, I am going far enough to lengthen my arms another inch or two. There is still enough room on the threads to do it.
Next week I am lowering the front another inch and ordering comp cut crusher corners from Gen Right to accommodate the stretched wheel base.
Now all I need are shorter shocks, but I may do coilovers in the rear instead spending $250 on a good set of rear shocks.

Great Job! That's a ton of work! I was going to ask what you are doing to clear the front. That gen right kit should move the fenders up several inches. Are your front PS tube fenders for sale?

Offline Taking the Jeep in this week to get the rear upper spring buckets moved back on the frame so my springs will be vertical.

If you weld them in so the coil is straight up and down, you'll be the same height as before.

I have a guy up here in Auburn that fabs out of his garage. I will gain about an inch from moving them back, but that is temporary. I am going to run coil overs back there.
