In order to get a wider stance, I previously put on wheels with an obnoxious offset.
But I'd rather have a setup where the contact patch is over the ball-joint axis -- which would give the best road feel, no?
(My front axle is now leaking near the right-side drive shaft, and since the front axle is the only thing I have not overhauled, I thought I would do this next and widen it at the same time.)
Now I might cut the axle and lengthen the tubes. This seems like a complicated job. Probably don't want this.

Here are my questions please:
1. What are options for longer left and right rzeppa drive shafts assuming I go ahead and lengthen the axle tubes?
2. What is the stock width (mounting-surface to mount-surface) of the ZJ D30?
3. What axle swap options would net me a good 6 inches wider front wheel base??? (i.e. push out the hub mating point 3 inches on each side?)
4. Are there tables of front axle widths anywhere? (I can find none, and I've looked quite hard.)
(fyi, i'll keep 3.73)
