lengthening radius and trailing arms

what have people done to lengthen them? I'm only running a 2" lift and the reason is to push the front axle back more central to the wheel arch.

rears look pretty straight forward and from the searchs I've done...
cutting... shimming and extending seem to be the way,

I was also considering drilling a few holes along the new tube to allow some extra welds to join to the originals well. not really keen on having them let go, good/bad idea? or does anyone make adjustables for rangies at a reasonable price? :roll:

Fronts i couldnt find any info on :? do you guys run a small spacer like the patrol guys or is there other options that are ok? and reasonably priced?

Cheers

Front arms are available from QT in the UK.

You can get them in 3 degree and 6 degree rotation.

This will correct caster and position in one go.

Quality looks good I have aset for fitment so can't say how they go.

Cost around $750.00.

So any thoughts on weather you could cut and weld the front arms and retain the strength in them . have a trailer queen I was to push the front axle forward on and this would be the easiest way but may not be the best .

Any one done this ?
