i think they come with high steer setup . i havnt got them yet. i am going to put the back in first cause it will be easier . im going to run the standard split rims to keep the width down till i work out what im doing flair wise.

I was going by this... i.e. Driving with mass agression - which is pretty similar to how be drives anyway...

i have a cardinal front drive shaft in the garage . the good thing about these diffs is the back is offset same as zook ones .planning of running 35s witha exstended weelbase .sick off doing wheelbearing i want to built it tuffer so i dont have to worry all the time about things breaking. on my last zook i did two wheel bearings runnig 31s both times the whole axle came and out lost all brakes not fun at all

I think that has probably more to do with maintenancs than anything else. i have run massively offset rims on n/t diffs with 34" swampers and have had to change 2 bearings in 4 years and that is with a lot of mud and water driving.

Have you thought about diff clearance issues ?

I run the 60 series diffs under my 40 series with 38" TSLs and I beleive NAM had the same diff clearance on 34s ;)

Something to think about.

Having said that they are very strong. They handle abuse from a 1.8 ton rig with a V8 and 38s. So I am sure they will last forever on a Zook with 35s :armsup:

I am also planing on fitting a v6 at the end of the year so need the strength . Id rather over engineer it than keep breaking stuff and end up doing the conversion anyway. Nothing like gatting stuck i the middle of nowhere

With a V6 and big diffs - perhaps somewhere else worth looking at strength issues would be the chassis?
