I built something similar to what you are talking about for a newer Chevy. I built arms that widened the front track width a total of 6 inches (3" per side) with Uniballs in the lower arm, and a factory balljoint on the top. I didn't build any lift into the arms, although I'm sure it could be done. What I did was use a Bilstein coilover to lift the suspension, and adjust the balljoint angles to compensate for the new angles of the control arms. And I sleeved the tie rod adjuster to lengthen it. I unfortunately can't share my pictures here, but you can browse the RaceDezert forums to find some similar setups on newer stock vehicles such as F150s and the NBS Chevy trucks, and the new Tundras and Tacomas.
