4link mod question

[dirty4x4money]

I am very happy with the setup I have but I would love to get a few inches of wheelbase.

I currently have Duff long arms up front and duff 5.5 monster 4 link out back.

My question for the pros is what would happen if I just built 4" longer links for the back? Would it change the handling a lot? Please advise.
Obviously I Know I would need driveline, shock mounts, etc.....

Thank you!!!

It won't drastically change anything but it will make some minor differences but probably nothing you'll really notice as far as the geometry is concerned. You will notice the difference in break over angle and will drag the links more. Be sure to move the shock and spring mounts back too, otherwise yes you'll notice a lot in a bad way

I have a duff monster 5.5 four link kit on mine as well. I installed mine 6 inches back. I had to cut out the rear crossmember and relocate it 6 inches back as well as move the gas tank back. Out front i pushed my front axle 4 inches forward. It's work but I would go this route versus adding 4 inches to the links.
