Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Cant see it clear enuf...looks like my mates. depends if spua or spoa?

Have 1985 LWB....

Are the rear standard leaf springs inter-changeable with the more common SWB one's from any other years? Or would they be longer?

From what i can tell about the rest of the vehicle everything seems to be the same as the SWB models except for the obvious.....tailshaft.

Cheers

My leaves are sagged to the max, load leaf has been chopped, just put coils under it to retain the height. Much better now!

32/36 DGV, fixed all my incline problems!

I run 32x11.5's they work well on the sand/mud, however i had an old set of BFG All terrains, 205/75/15's and they were excellent on the Sand!
Just a thought

Vibration?

Just a quick post....
Back up the driveway this morning and the transfer dropping about 4 inches. Upon inspection, the two LHS mounts were torn in half, both tailshafts drop out.
Lucky it happened in the driveway and not halfway through a wheel.

My leaf springs are concave up, (which is how they were when I got it), and I've decided to finally do something about it. I've heard that this is a problem in some old Zooks. Should I just replace them or should I get them repaired? What sort of cost am I looking at? Leave them and do a spring ...

Drained the oil yesterday, there was 1/4 of a tooth stuck to the plug.

Much prefer leaves.....and my SPOA's...cant live without them...dollar versus result.

I run a Lock-rite rear and i have no dramas with it..... However would much prefer an air locker.
