why not----------just have to deal with a bunch of steering issues if you push the front axle forward much right?

Tomb Raider (user here and my local board) did it. He used an Astro steering box. He has a small build thread where I think he originally used a different front spring and later swapped to the XJ in front, don't know how much he covered on that. His thread seems to be missing a lot of pics but I'm sure he could answer most of your questions: http://pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=596583

Yeah, I just went through his thread and you'll probably need to PM him or bring his thread back to the top. Really doesn't focus a lot on the suspension/steering.
