how have you corrected castor? plates/bushes? if using plates or bushes get rid of them and fit drop boxes this will move your diff forward. or get radius arm spacers.

here's an idea - admitantly not very well though out, i have a similar set up but running Big-O arms, what i was wondering was can i also add arm spacers = roughtly 22mm of fwd movement (10mm arm + 12mm spacer)?

Will this create any other problems with springs/shocks or steering links etc?

I would like to eventually squeeze in 36's on my custom off set rims which alreay massage the guards now with worn 35's on it without cutting guards...

I think 11-15mm is the most you can push it forwards. As the panhard rod will start to hit the diff.

i pushed my GQ front diff forward 2" when i built my 5 link, the panhard is in the standard spot and it hits the diff on full compression, i think 22mm is doable, as mine only just hits, bear in mind thou i moved my coil and shock mounts on my diff to line up again,

as GQ and GU chassis are the same, if not very similar, i cant see a prob pushing the diff 22mm forward other than coil and shock mounts being an issue

i got some radius arm spaces there only 10mm. im not sure that'll be enough. do the drop boxes ever get hung up on stuff.

myself and my dad run drop boxes on out daily driven trucks and we havnt really been hung up on the drop boxes to this point, but we have landed on them dropping down stuff in the past but they just slide right off, these are in a GQ and a GU,

My GQ is 22mm forward and the panhard clears.
