i would guess you also have to raise it to have some suspensiontravel..

narrowing the front axle should help indeed!

its not mine, it's just a picture i found on the net a while ago.
the fender looks ripped open, which i think looks great. but i think if you make a clean cut, it wont.

Like everyone else (well except one or 2) you need to put lower profile tyres and narrow the front end, as well as modify the angle of the swivel/kingpin assembly.

Ideally you also need to modify the shock absorber fitment on the arms, to respect the original distance and angle.

in that way you will have a car that will steer and perform properly.

everything is extensively documented on this forum.
