Thanks so much for this link.

Here's mine again, with the home built suspension I moved the rear wheels backwards about 3" to get the wheels centered in the flares, often you see the wheel looks to be too far forward because of flare positioning (can't move flare further forward because of the door gap)

Why cant a person just make the trailing arms couple inches longer to achieve that goal?

You can do that but you'll have to use rod ends on the struts otherwise the geometry will be beyond what the bushings are designed for. You will also run into potential problems with the spring, a sway bar if you have one, parking brake cables, halfshafts... there's more to it than just modifying the trailing arms

I guess your right,there would be more to it then just lengthening the arms.
