After glatt mentioned it, I remembered reading that some of the stretch makers, start with 4 wheel drives and just use the fronts for the long ones.
It's a tradeoff because they have to get the 4x4 front end low enough for a limo.
The same article said they don't do much with the brakes.

Heh. I don't actually know anything about limo conversions, other than they need to stiffen up the frame so they don't fold in half. I just assumed that putting in a big long driveshaft would have no advantage for most limos but would be an extra cost.
