Re: Explain dual cases to me

Duals with standard gearing 2.28 will give u approximately 10% lower than a single case with 4.7 reductions yet still give u standard 4 low which is lost with a single case with 4.7 reductions. U then have the option of 4 forward gear ratios and 228.1 or similar depending on diff ratios with a dual ...

Re: Ifs rears

solid axle rears are 48" and ifs are 51" so 3" difference.
best pack is an old worn out 48" rear pack consisting of 5 leaves minus the 2 overloads with the bottom 3 leafs cut down so they are staggered 3-4" shorter than the leaf above them. i have this setup and it maxes out my 12" bilsteins.

Re: trail gear springs and x-over steering

trailgear U.S will not look after you with freight to AUS.
their highsteer kit is $299 and they quoted me freight of $485.
they quote this ridiculous freight price so that you will buy the kit off their local Australian dealers ie loktup4x4.
another U.S company sky manufacturing quoted $150 freight ...

Re: ifs rears what bushes to use

the bush you need is kelpro 27014.
available from repco for about $9 per half.
sold as half bushes so you need 4 halves to make 2 complete bushes.
remove the stock front anchor pin bushes and replace with these.
think they are from early 1980 model rodeo and jackeroo.

Re: why isnt my diff straight

I think ray is on the right track. your torque rod/diff locator if standard may pull the drivers side further rearward due to the lift. get an adjustable one or remove it all together.

the leafs were custom made by dumbrells springs. thought about going higher with 50mm extended shackles and top and bottom ball joint spacers to gain another inch of lift for 32's. your front bar looks good. you should make some sliders and a rear tube bar similar as well to get rid of the ugly ...
