Which perches are you referring to?

I have waggy springs all around. I am running 3/8" MORE boomerang shackles and bolted the springs up to the stock fixed spring hangers.

Ahh, maybe Ijust realized what you meant. The waggy springs (47") are 2" longer than stock YJ springs (45"). The center pin on the YJ springs is centered, the pin on the waggy spring is 22.5" and 24.5" . If you mount the short end of the waggy spring to the fixed leaf hanger, then you do not gain any wheelbase. If you mount the long side to the fixed leaf hanger you gain 2" per end. With waggy springs you have the option of 0", 2" or 4" extra wheelbase.

Other than that, the perches do not change side to side or anything.

I would imagine you will need at least longer shackles if you do not want to move the mounts. I run waggys on the front of my YJ but I have a SRS built into the frame, I cut all the stock mounts off
