sooo.. those of you running this setup are you running them front and rear?
if so, what did you do about steering issues? or were there none?
any other hangups that are going to suprise us? Other than gas tank clearance?
are they going to be tall enough for 38-42" tire or do we need the 44044's?
This is a 60 front and 14b rear SOA if it matters.

I'm not running SUA Holbrooks not Waggy springs, but I did extend the wheelbase of my CJ-7 1" in front and 4" in rear.
Front steering: The tie rod will hit the pitman arm unless you go hi-steer. Another option is a shorter pitman, I found one in an 80's Dodge 1/2 ton that works well, with the larger tires you'll hit the springs before the stops anyway. If the interferance is small, the steering box mount from Ruff Stuff Industries is good for .75 to 1.5 inches extra clearance.
Axle Wrap: You are going to need an anti-wrap bar, don't wonder, just do it.

Dude - sup -
You talking the 7-leaf waggy fronts, yes? 2.5" wide spring. Think 31.5" - 32" spring width front fer sure (to clear the punkin). I am planning on SOA with 36" and no lift, and I have no worries. And I think the perch height from the top of the axle tube is only an 1". I coulda went deeper but I killed the grinder.
Hella flexy and yes, anti-wrap. I don't know about the 60, but my 44front with flat tops and high steer required a 1" spacer. Plus ahm running the drag link aft of center. I don't see any clearance issues beyond that.
Good luck, money -
