finished 1/2 ruf

Post by short stuff »

just finished my 1/2 ruf i used the rear main spring and two 2inch springs
and also used 110mm eye to eye shackels and 1inch bump stop spacers

the height from the ground to the lip or the rim is 700 with 32inch maxis buckshots at about 30psi

I think the angle of my shackles are to much though its about 55degress

How much further forward does the diff sit from original now?

The rear springs alone would have moved it forward, right? and did you move it further again?

And what other work was involved with moving the diff?

did you mount the rear of the spring in the stock mount or did you drill a new hole?

X2. If they don't invert on full compression it's all good. Flatter shackles = more droop, better ride.

more offset on the rims, or limit the steering...

I have 2in bumpstops and my 31s on 15x7s rubbed on standard shock mounts.

I have done some minor trimming and reshaping of the shock mount and it no longer rubs.
