37's on 79 series ute

[jenno]

JUst wondering if anyone has put 37's on a crusier ute without having to do any front guard mods, currenlty got 5-6 inch lift but was unsure if 37s will fit in the front with full flex etc, got custom -40 rims on front.
Trying to figure to go 35's or 37s for a second set?????
any ideas welcome pls

I ran 37's on my old 79 but i trimmed the guards I ran a 4 inch coil & 2 inch BL with a 5 link & A frame had to tub the tray as well

Ok thanks, when u say trim the guards were abouts did u have to trim? case its a daily drive as well, just building a new tray atm about 50 mm highier than my old one. is it worth going the 37s or stick to the 35s u think

[MUD000]

35's in my opinion mine was a daily driver I ran 35's with a 2 inch lift & 2 inch bl with trimmed guards I also ran 100 series diffs 4.3 ratio

Oh ok, how did the rear setup go as an everyday drive, who engineered it for u?

[jenno]

who did the work for you on the rear if u dont mind me asking? cause thats the plans i got for mine except was thinking of doing an airbag setup

[MUD000]

Cheezy did it but his not doing it anymore. Was done a few years ago now I think the ute lives in WA now

i run 35s on my 79 series with 2" lift ,some times up front i put coil spacers in to make it 3" lift , no rubbing problems except under heavy flex, in the rear they rub on the chassis also running snake racing shackles but springs are sagged, once you start offsetting the rims up front you will start rubbing more.in just running the std gxl 105 series steelies

I seen a 79 series exactly the same as that about a year or so ago about 2 hours south of perth in the bush tracks, i presume it was your old one as it also had shocks going through the tray etc.
Great looking rig

i run 35s as a daily and had some as a second set and they rub on rear but have not had any rubbing issues on front, thats with the same 105 rims, didnt happen wen i had 2 inch lift or even now with the 5 inch lift, have u had a set of rims modifed with more offset?

Hey Dan when you say you trimmed ur guards on it, where did you trim, and how? Sorry for so many questions but just trying to sort and plan my build.

You cut the guard to make the wheel arch bigger
