Fitting 35`s on a 75series?

Post by Moose45 »

Was wondering who out there has fitted 35`s on a 75series ute?
I was thinking of a 2 inch body lift and 2 inch springs, will this be
enough? Are there any other problems I should look out for.
Any help much appreciated.

2 body + 2 spring will get it there. will scrub a bit at full flex on the front.

Yep I hace 2 + 2 on my midi with 35s and it scrubs on the back of the wheel arch and on the inside of the guards under flex. they will also hit on your springs and steering box, if you have your steering stops wound back to far.
Cheers.

35's will go on a 75 ute with a 2i lift , but they scrub on ur springs at full lock and will hit ur guards when flexing. it's worth lifting ur tray aswell.
also it maters what offset wheel u have as the tyre rubs on the back of the front guard when turning if u have a big offset rim, so get some axel relocation plates to move ur front axel 30mm forward, and u should be right.

depending on how good ur springs flex u might need a 2i body and a shackle lift to clear at the front

Mate it seems to me that every individual truck is different. even in the same model.

I have a troopy that fits 35's piece of piss with 2 inch springs and 1 inch lift from the extended shackles. No body lift, but have extended bumpstops by 2cm by putting rear stops up front. doesnt' scrub rear of guard or springs, just drives like a slug on the highway. :D i still have about 2 cm of guard clearance at the top of the wheel by the way.

i would suggest the simplest thing to do is go and borrow a set of 35's and go flex it up at left and right full lock and see where it rubs. It's the only way you're really going to know what has to be done to your truck.

I'm running 35's on a middy with no problems 2" body lift 3" springs and refitted the front springs backwards (big wrap on spring now at the front) cause the centre bolt on the leaves are 40mm offset so it brings the front diff forward 40mm. The only problem is the drive shaft requires lenghtening or a spacer fitted and rotating the tie rod clamps slightly so they don't rub. Better approach angle and bigger tyres = happy days and middy's rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope this helps! :armsup:

I put on a 3 inch lift and scrubbed on the mud flaps on turns. A 2 inch body lift fixed that. You may find the offset of your rims will affect hitting on springs etc. I had no issue but run 10 inch rims with a big offset. Because I also run wheel spacers I put a 1 inch move forward on the front diff which again fixed that issue. You can cut your guards but messy and not for me.
I run a full superior engineering setup with ladder bars etc etc. I do not scrub and get very good flex.

Thanks everyone 4 the tips, Im sorting the 50mm body lift / tray at the
moment, then some springs to follow unsure of what make yet but thats
a big question on its own. Will give it a run then sort out diff location if needed i geuss.

Cheers guys.

i know u didn't ask but i'd recomend the dobinson leaves and shocks from the states, very impresive flex and handling.
