is there any way to extend the suspension of my mountain bike? making the wheel further to the frame.

Hi Ivan
Nope, can't be done. You have to buy a new fork. Suspension forks come in many different lenght, normally around 80 or 100 mm, but you can buy forks for downhill usage with twice the lenght of that. How much travel has your fork at the moment? and why do you need more travel in the fork?
My advice to you would be to take your bike down to your local bike shop (LBS) and talk your possibilities over, things have to fit, so don't run off and order something on the internet right away

You could change forks, but probably not a very good idea if you go beyond the designed travel of your frame. If your frame came with a 80mm fork, don't go beyond a 100mm one.
