Search NT to WT SOA
Basically the same but with SOA perches are on top as opposed to the standard position under the axle tubes

Literally a case of welding on new perches to suit the narrow track spring spacing

You will also need to replace the steering rod to WT as it will a little longer

just get rims with the centres rewelded to give the desired offset, less cash same end result. Tyres will stick out a hell of a lot anyway

ahhh.....they won't fit as the diff centre will be directly in line with the spring.

Why :?: the extra length is outside the chasis. The diff are in the same place inrelation to the gearbox/t-case.

that was 41mm for the front - and the rear is totally different.. but that was on my LWB.. so that might be different altogether to a SWB.

Rear diff perches were moved in 37.5mm on my LWB.. so not sure on whether the SWB's are the same.
