Yes I have moved the axle forward by 20mm, with spacers on the radius arms. It was catching the front mudgaurd at full lock, and pulled the left one off.

Funny thought my avatar was not working as it does not show up on my pc. If it is it not a toyota, but a 1988 shorty Patrol on 37" Boggers. Sold it last year.
