I don't think they're supposed to work like that if you pull the LCAs forward that far they must surely be binding a bit or at least angled as opposed to straight out.
Barracuda's have shorter wheel openings compared to the other body styles, the lower front corner pretty much has to be modified in order to run tires that are close to 26" tall and of any kind of width. Moseleyme had to do it to run 255/40/18's, and I know autoXcuda did the same.
And with poly bushings and the heim joints on the adjustable strut rods there's less binding than with the factory rubber bushing set up, so the adjustable strut rods do end up shorter than the stockers.
