Thanks for checkin it out! I did alot of research and it is possible and has been done, but it is alot of work for gaining 1 1/4 inches. It does not pose any issues that I have found other than time consuming. After looking into it, the cheaper way is to either get tubular arms top and bottom or is you are using stock parts you can use more alignment shims in the back on the upper control arm and it will push it forward about an inch and still maintain alignment.
