how far forward can i push the diff without running into problems ei, highsteer, fouling shock towers etc etc

ive got an adjustable dropped draglink... what else do i need?

I have never done it so have no idea(I would think the amount of adjustment on the draglink though

) but you should know that all solid axle hilux's have the same system apart from power steering. It might help anyway...

Took mates 35 foward with my old superior drop draglink and it was gettin F'in tight just to get it to do lock to lock so i'd just redrill perches it'll get you 35mm foward and get shortend or adjustable torqe rod however mine never had one and i didn't find it to bad to drive. also need longer front tailshaft or spacer.

doesn't the front tailshaft have bit of play in it?

The play is the allow for flex, mine fell out after I extended the shackles and was crossed up. I had mine extended, it isn't too expensive.

where would i get something like that done?

mines has a 2 inch suspension lift and 33's
scubbed badly so moved it forward 35mm
quote to extend the shaft was $350, any driveshaft mob should do it.
but i ended up going for a 2 inch body lift and putting the diff back where it was instead, no scub!

My extended shaft cost me $110 but that was five years ago, so long as a good fitter/machinist does the extension it won't need balancing.

It's only a slow speed shaft so doesn't need to be that spot on, Unless you do beach work. If your a bit handy just make a rhs box one not good with speed but has long slip

the RHS shaft if it is done well isnt too bad at speed, itll flog out the transfer seal but the vibration isnt too bad (i can only do 50 in low range) and in high range i dont do beach work so i couldnt say but in flynns car the vibration wasnt any worse than an unballanced rear shaft or a shaft which has had a knock.

Yeah mine is ok with a bit of speed some times but other times it'll get a bit of a vibe up.

if you send the shaft to superior eng, it ends up cheaper then sending to other places...
Cost me $350 (from daniel engineering in NSW) but i think with postage superior it ended up being 150-200

yea, i do a fair bit of beach work so it needs to be pretty spot on.
