    I have seen and read articles where some people have moved the wheels forward with offset upper & lower control arms. Is there a down side to moving the wheels this way?

    Not sure how you would do this without re-engineering the entire clip. I would just move the clip forward on the frame and be done with it.

    I am saying cut the clip whole, then move it forward, but... you must have lots of places to measure and ensure as much as you can that it stays square with the frame. Same as Jerry says.
