moving diff forward on 75 cruiser

Post by maddog_75 »

hey all,

i've read and heard of people moving the diff forward on their 75 cruiser utes/wagons to get rid of scrubbing with big tyres on the back of the front flares.

i'm just a little confused as to how you would do this?

some people say you just redrill the top spring perch an inch towards the front of the car, but how does that work as there is the pin on the bottom of the leaf pack also?

pics would really help!

cheers,
gerge

Just drill the hole 25mm forward on the diff and the U bolt plate, easy, cheap and you wont loose suspension height like you will with the plates by Snake racing.

I use a drive shaft spacer in mine.

did this and had no problems with the length of the drive shaft, already had 2 inch springs and extended shackles.

I also ran castor wedges which i also just drilled a hole in and worked a treat.
