(I'm sure there is an arc tangent formula for it, but I ain't going there
Ain't it the toe links in the front pulling/swinging it forward?

And, yes, I didn't see so much forward travel with the OEM shocks.

MonroeMatics, anyone? LOL!

P.S. My 20's were/are only .15" larger radius. I kept nearly the OEM spec on rolling distance.
