Do you see any issues with using larger tires? like in the 29-30" range.

DropmemberC4- $1200
Rebuilt C4 Rack and Pinion- $350
DropmemberC4 Basic Kit- $1500 (Includes Dropmember and C4 Rack and Pinion)
Spindles/Brakes/upper and lower control arms (used from salvage yard)- $750-$850 ... I've seen em for less as well. (Keep in mind possible rebuilding of parts/components) Good idea to buy front suspension complete with rack, crossmember, and transverse spring... you can sell off the parts you do not use and recoup a few hundered bucks.
Shockwave's- $849
Tie-rod ends- $150
Steering joints and Linkage- $350
Total $3700 + misc. expenses ~ $4000
As for the tire diameter question... 27" will put the frame on the ground, so a 29" diameter will put the frame 1" off the ground. You can go larger than 27" diameter, clearances just get tighter and tighter.
