   It is possible but you'll have no arches left after all the work is done.

   the back will go 120mm no problem, the front wont, you will need custom springs and shocks and even at that you will have about 5mm of suspenson travel even custom springs and shocks and the ride will be absolutely horrendous and shocks will knacker over just about every bump

    if you get 120mm at the back it will slide round like an arse when driving it hard round corners etc
