Also before you stretch check out this guys setup : http://www.offroadsc.com/showthread.php?58-308turbo&highlight=308turbo
he stretched his way out the front and it does very well, hillclimbs like a mofo and helps center the weight.
thanks for the link. i'm not really looking to stretching the front yet. i know the center weight would be nice, but i don't want to get into the steering box flip and relocating the trackbar just yet.
