Went 2" forward and put a bend in the tie rod to accomodate the drop pitman.
Went back 15mm as my shox were in danger from my tank skid if it was moved any more.

Yeah unless you do something about the fuel tank and the steering box you are really limited in how far forward/back you can move your diffs. You won't get much more than 2 inches at either end
