Ok, yeah I was curious about the clearance at the UBJ just because of the extended height. I know when I was running 2” drop spindles on my Challenger I definitely lost clearance to the outer tie rod, one of many reasons those aren’t a great idea with torsion bars.
My steering stops when the tire hits the frame, but I don’t have any proper steering stops. The QA1 LCA’s don’t have any and their narrow width means the lower ball joints never hit them like the factory set up. So I actually get more steering angle than factory.
The tie rod ends are fairly close to the rim, but with 18” wheels they actually fit inside the lip of the rim so with 18’s there’s really no backspace limit other than the frame rail/steering angle.

I don’t know that I’d narrow the track width if it meant shortening the control arms. Obviously it depends on how much, but that tighter the arc the wheel moves in the more potential you’ve got for bump steer, even if it increases camber gain. But even camber gain has its limits, if you’re gaining too much compared to the body angle you’re losing contact patch too. Ideally the camber gain would track with the lean angle of the car during cornering.
