Moving crossmember forward????

I have been following the drop crosmember thread and I have seen people mention moving the crossmember forward. Well, I have done the crossmember drop and I have 22's on my truck laying frame. Yes, my tires rub the **** out of my firewall. I was thinking about this and I think the real only way to fix this is to notch out the firewall to clearance for the big shoes. Because in theory, right now, at ride height, my wheels are centered in the wheel well. When it airs out, the wheels shift toward the rear. However if I was to move the crossmember forward, and center the wheels when aired out, when it is aired up to ride height, the wheels would be toward the front......I for one would rather it look right when cruising down the road. Is this what everyone talking about moving the crossmember dont care about? Are you looking to look cool when laid out at a show? Or has no one actually moved the crossmember forward and got their fenders on to see this?
