Do you have adjustable control arms? If not, you may want to pick some up.

It shouldn't hurt anything, cause as the axle moves up the arms will push it out a little. If you want more wheelbase get some adj. arms.

Only thing to watch out for is the rear springs making contact with the tracbar. Other than that, adjustable control arms are the way to go
