Front Derailluer recomendation needed

I switched BB's and cranksets to get lower gearing for touring, put on a Sugino triple 48 tooth large ring(48/36/26), the front derailluer that was on the bike is an old SunTour VX, I put this on with the new crankset and the VX does not have enough outward travel to lift the chain onto the large ring, even with the limit screws backed all the way off, so I'm looking for a derailluer with more range of motion, I am using friction bar end shifters and the front cable is routed from the downtube then up from the bottom bracket to the derailluer, so some types probably wouldn't work, they look like they need the cable comming down the seatpost, any way does anyone have an idea what I could use, that has a little more outward range of motion, Thanks for any help
