This things wicked mate, must go all right on the tracks, How badly do the 35s scrub with your current setup and do you think there is any chance you could have fitted them without a body lift?

ah there is abit ill be honest, last time i went to loveday almost popped the flares off. Next few weeks ill be making some custom IFS stuff and hopefully a lokka and get rid of the scrubbing completely but then again i might be dreaming there haha

35s and no body lift really might be pushing id say not to well but they might with some grinding.

 

[Saitek]

No probs thanks for the quick reply, i was thinking about getting a bigger set of tires for weekend play and im leaning more to a nobly set of 33's since 35's sound like a no go.

 

[tourley]

Favourite build on here! Truck looks so tough. A quick question what were your wheel specs when running the 33's? Did you get much scrubbing without the body lift?

 

[Big Al]

Cheers mate ah they were 33" 13.5 wide and the rims were -26 offset I think. I never did a lot of 4wding when I just had the 33s because the body lift came soon after but saying that it never scrubbed enough to stop me and with a good 2inch lift and a grinder u would have next to none scrubbing I reckon. Saying that it's all going to come down to the offset of the rims and the width of the tyre.

so over the long weekend got stuck into the car taking the rear bar off after a few dents and moving the tow bar right up for more clearance all in all i think it works much better now and will look tops after a custom rear bar.

 

[dilmah]

Looks mint man

 

[Big Al]

Cheers mate

 

[Big Al]

got some pressies in the mail today. Had a go to put the front stuff in untill i found out i could get the ball joint off so i gave up

 

[4x4 ST-R]

Mate ball joints are real hard to get out. At work they have a hydraulic machine to do the job. They have tools at supercheap to help with the job, if you don't already have it.

 

[Big Al]

Ah right yep just found a thread on it thanks good to no supercheap can pull through with the goods

 

[Big Al]

just few pic with the new lift in still havnt done the back apparently the front pins on the leaf springs dont come out to easy

 

[ekul26]

looks good one day i hope mine has that height

Have you had any trouble with cops for the 35s??
because as far as i can tell the rule's in SA to QLD are the same so the 35s are illegal.

i see lots of patrols with 35s and cops dont know or dont look because it doesn't look as epic like when the nav's with 35s.

 

[Big Al]

surprisingly none what so ever they hardly take a second look (touch wood)

 

[Big Al]

so bit of some good n bad news got some new CVs n my front lokka was keen to put that in this weekend then found this
