OK. So I was talking to a retired car guy... This is his wisdom~
A lift will rotate the axle and push it back with stock arms like thus:

By increasing the control arms and pushing the axle to "0" off center there is less axle rotation like thus:

And by pushing it forward, of center, even less... until there is zero rotation (like under the front bumper:

How far you can push forward is limited by clearance of things like the track bar as well as how far you can safely extend the front drive shaft before it needs to be replaced with something longer.

The rotation of the axle needs to be weighed against the change in the front pinion angle to caster (or is it camber? ~ ability to drive in a straight line without fighting the steering wheel...).
On Jeeps, they're set to be like 8* or something like that stock. But have a +/- of 4 or 5 degrees.
*I've heard 3 degrees is the minimum before it's a PITA to steer.

And the bigger the Pinion angle off the front axle, the rougher the drive line vibrations will be.

Thus, his suggestion (other than, "trust the engineers that didn't lift it and leave it alone"), was to push it as far forward as you can without compromising clearance or drive shaft intageraty.

...and per 4.3LXJs note, not more than an inch.

Does that make sense?
Or did I completely miss what he (the car guy) was saying?
