I've noticed that some trucks like the KW W900 & Eagle 9900i have their front axles pushed all the way to the front. What purpose does this serve ? Doesn't it affect manouverability adversely, since it increases the wheel base ? Also, if something were to strike the front bumper, wouldn't it hit the tires too since the tires are so close to the front bumper ?

Thats how there made. The steer tires can't be moved.

Yes it will take you more room to manuveur these trucks but once you get used to it it is not a big deal. I have never had anything hit my bumper so I can't help you on that one but that does make since. I do know that if you hit something and you have a nice big shiny bumper I have seen those pushed back into the tires.

Set forward axle improves the ride, set back axle improves manuverability. It's a tradeoff.
