Post Custom Wheel Base
Has anyone made any extensive wheel base changes such as moving diffs back on the rear of 2dr JKs cutting away at that body like they did in tjs and moving front diff forward

Slightly but not revere. We used Rock Krawler 5" links with superlift 3" springs and it moved both about an inch. Again, nothing severe to need cutting.

Ok sound's cool

a few guys i work with have all kept there TJs and are now starting to turn them into more or less buggies i am considering maybe doing the same to the jk to be different and maybe even the first to do so, but main concern is its only 2 months old lol, if so it would be a complete custom set up but i guess i see what happens.. My jeep just wants to keep growing

heres my out take on it... why buy a 2 dr and stretch it when you could have bought a 4 dr and had longer wheel base to start.

RockKrawler has a stretched 2-door JK. Pics are on another JK board.
Anyone know more about this?
