Re: 200 series live axle

Hay mate I just got myself a 76 and my old man got a 200.

Re: 100 series lift.

The hungys have plenty of guard clearance and room for bigger tires with minimal lift. I have run up to 7" lift on mine with 38s. IT was too big to be enjoyable to drive at that height. BEst advice I can give is don't go over about 4" lift. You can still run 36s with that lift and minimal rubbing ...
