How much can i theoretically stretch the axle in my XJ forward before I start running into steering bind/clearance issues? The coil buckets are in the stock location

I think I stretched my front end about 1.5-2" max when I had my HP44 in my old XJ. But the coil buckets were centered over the axle.
Not sure about stock brackets.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I had multiple Rangers over the years. Loved them all. Never left me on the side of the road once...My favorites would be a tossup between a 92 xcab i bought that had a 5spd, 2wd, and , oddly, a 3.27 rear...the thing was actually pretty damn fast and got great mileage, but some moron blew a stop sign in front of me, I smacked the side of his trunk (old Buick Regal), flipped him over twice...I walked away unhurt, and the truck was still drivable with nothing more than a tierod adjustment.
The other was an 88 shortbed standard cab that I swapped an 86 T-bird Turbo 2.3 into..had the big Garrett T3 turbo and a T5 trans. behind it...my buddy had a 454SS at the same time and I smoked him badly, even with a one-legger rear.
Roll your Ranger proudly, I WILL build a mid-engine V8 sleeper some time in the future.

Get the CVS cough&cold pills and eat like 10 or 12, it's a blast.
That 2.3 turbo truck must have screwed. I've always wanted an SVO, Otto build something with that motor, like a lightweight buggy, or a ranger like yours sounds fun.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I stretched mine about 5 in with the full hydro. Id say thats about the max. if I moved my lower coil buckets back any farther they would interfere with my LCAs
I had to move my frame side trackbar bracket forward 2in

I ordered a set of intake valves, and a set of exhaust valves from rockauto. I get the box today and inside is two sets of exhaust valves.
dammit.
just looked up the part number, the second set of valves fits Jeep 4.0 and 2.5's. ha.

Mine was too. That's about as much as I could go with a 44 and waggy pitman arm before the steering links started getting too friendly with eachother.
