leaf sprung gq ute

[bczook]

hi

i picked up a gq ute leaf all round to upgrade from my mq shorty. iam wanting to put my 35's on the ute before i sell the shorty i have been told the mq springs wont fit is there springs of another model that will fit perhaps 60 series?? also i have both front and rear air lockers in the mq will these fit the gq?


cheers

mq diffs are different to gq, i dont think the lockers will fit

[WICKED]

rear locker may fit but the front wont.

You'll have to check the spline count to be sure however.

Springs are different, MQ ones are 60mm wide, GQ ones are 70mm wide.

You can use front springs from a 60 series or 75 series ute. But rear springs will need to be GQ ones.

Lockers won't fit.

I fitted 35's with no lift
--> then made extended shackles to give 2" lift
--> and am now running 75 series parabolics up front cause the cause the stock springs were shagged.

Rear is just extended shackles and shagged springs.

if mq is small diff the rear will fit the gq front with a few mods. if it is big diff the rear may working depending in spline count as they are both h260's

Yes rear may fit in front with mods, ie. get holes re-drilled for the crown wheel

However, MQ SWB have the small rear diff, H233, the utes have the big diff H260, rear locker won't fit in rear

I have a leaf GQ and believe that rear locker will fit (H260 37spline only)
from ARB catalog

MQ's aparantly had boath H233 (31 spline) and H260 rear diffs

[j-top paj]

any benefit from having 37spline instead of 31?

[90Mav]

20% stronger i spose???

[j-top paj]

sounds good to me

[bczook]

the front is RD27
and the rear is RD04

so the rd04 will fit the gq front if i re-drill the crown wheel?
and rd27 definetly wont fit


cheers
