I don't see why it wouldn't work, but you'll need to watch out for tie rod and drag link interference. If you move the axle too far forward, the tie rod will move forward and contact the drag link under certain circumstances.
At that point, you can relocate the steering box further forward if you desire.

French the front hanger in. Get a flat pitman arm, move the box forward, run 4.5" shackles, and you will sit low. I am running rears up front with everything i said above on an 88 4Runner with a 3.4 and 5 speed and i measure 23" from frame to floor on 35's. Stock rear pack with 2 leaves added below and one on top for an anti-wrap spring. Ill post pick of it tomorrow for you. Good luck and get after it show me some pictures of what your working with!
