Any more will require the studs be knocked out and longer bolts used. When I mini tubbed mine I moved it back 1", it looks much better than before with the tire more centered. It's gone 1.38 60' with a pump gas small block, so I wouldn't worry about giving up anything.

Rather than simply moving the front mount back and creating potential problems in the rear mount geometry? 6986226-BLO-0-GM6072-2.jpg (87 downloads)

Have you looked at the rear shackle angles on any stock A bodys they are not real good from the factory for drag racing, there almost straight up and down when sitting still Moving the spring back increases that angle in a positive manner I have put a 1/2 inch spacer in between the rear shackle hangar and the sub frame to make that angle better with the SS springs in the stock location Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964.

Rather than simply moving the front mount back and creating potential problems in the rear mount geometry? This is how I got the last 1/2" I needed. I redrilled the wholes in the spring buckets years ago to fit 28/12.5/15 Quick time pros and then offset the mount like in the picture to get a 295/65/15 drag radial in there. You will have a problem with a factory wheel tub fitting a 30" tall tire will hit at the back of the tub. I think a 29.5 is the tallest you can fit with getting out a hammer or cutting out some metal on the facory wheel tub. This is a front to back issue not a side to side issue.

Contemplating moving one on a future build and running a Dana 60 - wondering if the rear axle cover will hit the stock fuel tank or sending unit, etc...
