What about the gas tank?
Are you going to raise it up or run a fuel cell in the back to get it out of the way of the axle?

Yep gas tank seems to be the biggest problem with this.
You could mount the springs backwards or re-drill your center hole.
I've also seen the u bolt plates and axle perches modified to slide back using the stock hole.
I think re-drilling the hole in the springs would be the easiest route. Just look out for your tank.

I extended mine 5" by flipping the leafs around. Had to move the tank up.

after flipping them did you have to get a traction bar?
why not go more than a couple inches?
that seems like alot of trouble for just 2"
why not just chop the whole rig in half and stretch it about 6"
OR... heck add a whole new set of doors & a row of seats then it can double as a limo & you can pimp it out to the local highschool kids on prom night

if your interested i can hook u up w/ a guy that a has a clean (WRECKED in front) 96 2dr that he is currently parting out & is planning on junking the body & what ever is left.
it would (in my opinion) make a great trail rig.
