Re: 38s on gq

I only have 37's on mine with a two inch lift, but I have a mate with 40's on his with a two inch lift, so 38's should fit with no lift if you are happy to trim your guards heaps.

what happened to high rolling? I remember both of them being cut into utes with wheel base extensions. I saw the blue one out at St Clair about 2 years ago I think they are long gone now. A lot of the guys that were involved back then have moved on to other things. I lost contact with most of them ...

Re: GU Patrol - 2" Lift, What else is required???

The two things you mention plus you might also have to correct the castor with drop arms or offset radius arm bushes if the steering is too direct. I would also fit stronger lower rear control arms as the standard ones are easily damaged if you use it offroad. You can also replace the panhard rods ...

Re: Diff gears for 37's on GQ

I run 37's all the time and have 4.6 gears but I also have 85% reduction gears in the transfer. 4.6's are a good combination for me because of the transfer reduction offroad but 4.8 diff gears would be closer to standard ratios and would be a better choice if you have standard transfer gears.

Re: 35" or biger tyres on 3" lifted gu?

JTop ran 38's with his 3 inch lifted GU but they were a narrow offset so they tucked up under the guard. I've seen plenty running 36's with no problems on smaller lifts in GU's, they have bigger wheel arches than GQ's so you will fit your 35's easy.

GQ rear lights out

You have a few options: 1 Fit a double carden joint at the transfer end of your driveshaft and rotate your rear diff ...

Why? If it's to get clearence for tyres you are better off trimming your wheel-arches. There are a lot of reasons to not do a body lift in a Patrol.

Re: 37's on a gq ute

Move the diff forward with radius arm spacers. My 37's cleared with a 4 inch lift even before I trimmed the guards. They only just touched at full compression and full lock so you hardly have to trim anything at all.

I've got a 4 inch in mine but wish it was only 2-3 inch lift. For the hassle of fixing the driveline issues you are much better staying with a two inch lift.
