Is their any threads on stretching the wheelbase? I've searched but have not come up with anything.
Thanks

I didn't have to do anything with my rear crossmember but I am still leaf springs. If I go 4-link in the rear, I will need to relocate the rear crossmember because the uppers on top of the diff will hit the crossmember.
I did move my front crossmember forward to accomodate my steering box being pushed forward and to get it out of the way of the trackbar because the stock front crossmember hangs down a few inches and gets in the way. the new front crossmember is flat and out of the way:

You can't do full hydro with a 3-link because you will get bumpsteer. Just stick with the basic trackbar with steering box and drag link then add hydro-assist if you need it. it all fits nicely if you take the time to plan it all out.

It's a lot of work though. A set of Duff arms and some RCV axles will get you there for a lot less money.
So whats the deal on not running full hydro with a 3 link? Thats what I was planing on running.
Thanks for the info

Bump, would anyone else like to chime in?
I am pretty sure he meant 4-link....just a typo
Um, what? 4-links and full hydro pretty much go hand in hand. So confused.
i feel like before i moved the axles out that far, i'd stretch the whole truck 10" or 12". one of my dreams actually. that along with F150 axles and 4BT.
Unless you a) don't like that's look(me) or b) your building it to wheel hard, then moving the front and rear out make for better approach /departure angles.
