I'm at 98" right now and am daydreaming of a 10" stretch.

What do you think?

I'm at 108 right now and it does real good

Sweet rig.

Do you really need the extra 10 inches of wheelbase? Lookin for more performance..?

Course, I don't really need rear steer but I'm going to have it on my rig. :D

Why stretch the body? You're running coilies, and your rig isn't a DD. It's time for a 90-deg approach and departure angle!

I've found that a 5" change in WB can make a HUGE difference. Perhaps you don't need 10" because 5" would put you right at 103". 103" is a damn good wheelbase that I've seen work well on many rigs with 37-40" tires

i'm right at 104 or 5 now and like it. i haven't really seen any huge difference in performance because it has its upsides and downsides, and i haven't driven it enough, but i can tell a difference. i like it though.

for 38.5's you should be longer than 98, IMO. You'll need low-front and a line lock for the rear, to get your current manueverability back, though.

FWIW, I like the longer wheelbase rigs. My rig currently sits at 106" on 44" Swampers and works pretty well but wouldn't mind going to 110"

i agree and i also agree with elf and i also agree with big dude. even though i think the pic you posted looks cool, forget lengthening the body. i lengthened my cj5 to 100" wheelbase and even though the added wheelbase helped alot i now have more wrinkled sheet metal. not that it is that big of a deal but the greater approah and departure angles you will get without adding to the body will pay off. i also feel about 102-105 would be good with 38's. i first went to 100" when i was still runnin 35's and i have since run 38.5 sx's and now 42's. this is what i am basing my opinion on the wheelbase on. anyway...

I say keep the wheelbase the same and cut the body.If your getting up into the 42" tire range then add a few inches.Blazin

I am with toy on this one Mike. Push those axles out as far you can. Why stretch the body? (besides cool points of course....and some more interior room) :D

i think youd be happy in the 105 ish range, 10 more inches to what you have is a lot, youll want bigger tires if you stretch it alot too, jIMMy

damn right, screw the body, stick the rear diff out a mile:D

+ it would look funky if ya strech the body:rolleyes:

my heep was 108, worked awesome on 38 sx's. my powerwagon is 112, haven't tested that yet ;)

i think 105 - 108 is good.
