MQ Front is 21.5<-->21.5=43-44in (60mm wide)
Give or take a few milimetres
If i hadnt redrilled the spring hanger my rear diff would have moved back 2 inches and would now be hitting the tank

contemplating throwing my lifted rears up front instead of stockers and then going lifted mq's in the rear, depending on the height that you got from them. so pics would be great if you could get them mate.. :armsup:

I would say the MQ springs i got were standard height not lifted. I was lucky enough to get hold of a set that had been recently replaced and thus were in great condition.

Seen as the lwb has nearly a foot behind the spring hanger Im going to try 48" hilux rears as it keeps the diff in the same spot (toy diff is already very close to tank) and should give good flex.

the problem i have found with having longer springs and keeping the diff in the original location is the overhang of the spring really affects the departure angle.. just looking at mine with 33s bolted up there is still a big amount of spring hanging out.
now the springs i have are not lifted, which will be bad. and they are 46" rx4 ones
