also the rear diff has been moved back another 1.5 inches so it is
now 2.5 inches back from stock

should help with the angle on the rear drive shaft :)

also front will be pushed forward some where round the 3 inch mark

so final wheel base will be round 85.5
should make it a bit more stable on ledges :D

So basically its going to be heaps longer, heaps wider, heaps heavier but still with really small road tyres :?

Sounds like you're going to have a rampover angle comparative to a limo :)

Gee - she's pretty wide there... what sort of offset are we talking with the rims then? They must be fairly standard i guess - since the axels are 7" wider (i gather 3.5" each side)...

depends on the ramp I suppose. Are you using the rear ferozas all round? Are they just stock ones or lifted? Why didn't I think of using Feroza leaves for mine? Are they the same width as Sierra springs and will they fit the Sierra spring pads?
