The issue with the front shock brackets for one...involves the tie rod hitting the frame.
If you lengthen the A arms you'll need to setup the steering to eliminate the bump steer which also takes care of the rod hitting/bending when it comes in contact with the frame.
I have plus 2 A arms on my Pilot with 2.0s and it makes a world of difference, unfortunately I have not addressed the bump steer yet and with increased speed it can be quite scary when the ground gets bumpy. I extended my top mounts in front maybe an inch.. I'd measure it but snow doesn't allow access, my tie rods just kiss the frame at both droop and bump.

I never knew about the tie rods hitting, but that does make sense with +2 arms and longer A-arms. That steering damper exists from ATV racing, but that just ups the overall required steering effort. Some have tried power steering, which definitely helps, but even that is only good to an extent.
