ive extended a swb chassis by 900mm its a lot of work cause the swb chassis tapers out and you have to bend the rails to make the parallel. plus the lwb has another brace underneath.i also would suggest finding a lwb chassis.

I got my BARE LWB body and chassis off Ebay for $100.
No way I'd try to extend a SWB for that kind of money! :D

I can't foresee any problems of squaring off the extension from the end plate. Other than spacing between spring mounts if you are moving them a hell of a long way back...

i was going to do this, but iv picked up a LWB chassis for $200, so i opted to go this way, as it will be a heap less work
