How far forward- front axle questions.

[stockk5]

Hey guys, I have done some searching for a few hours with no real answers. I have a standard 4" lift superlift springs and a diy4x rear shackle hanger upfront. I'd like to move my front axle a few inches, hoping for 3inches total in the front with no additional lift from a zero rate.

How far forward can you redrill the shackle hangers/move the front axle before you start having steering issues with crossover?

As long as it's crossover (and not high steer), you'll be fine.

Not really the info you're looking for but.... I have crossover with high steer and at 2" forward the 2 bars touched before hitting the stops until I turned the bent drag link horizontal (per ck5 suggestions), works fine now.

Also, with Zero Rates my passenger side outer u-bolt touches my high steer tie rod at full lock. My Zero Rates are set in the stock position, not offset.

Good to know, I dont have high steer, just cross over. I have been reading more people have drilled into their perches to move it forward 1.5" as well with out any lift? Anyone else do this?
