i disagree bubs,

if you are doing a solid swap i would fit the longer ones, it really isnt any more hassel.

yeah thats right, now i remember. Whizzy has IFS rears all round and had to build the hangers forward 2 inch and then redrill the spring pearch to get the axle foward, without trimming or any other major mod you cant run bigger than 35's with IFS rears in the front, but they do flex awesome.

If you are going to talk like you know what you are on about get it right at least Bubs :roll:

They are 1.5" longer on the sghort side and with the axle farward on the perch they can be made exactly the same.

is that about 1.5, because i believe that it is 1 3/4 which is more like 2 :finger:
