Like I said give me a call when things happen. I reckon most of it can be done in a weekend.

let me see there might be a complete zook for sale soon, gota work out a few details. i think i will stick with wat i got for now as dollars have all of a sudden become a bit tight :bad-words: .1 thing i gotta check is if the chassis are the same width and if the diffs will swap over without fuss.

It won't be a bolt in swap because your new zuk is a NT & your old one is WT but i'm sure you'll be able to figure it out(the nt spring & shackle mounts are inline with the chassis the wt's are outboard) .The lwb doesn't pitch as much as the swb either.Good luck with the new zook.

Check MJ's/Mick's members thread, we are putting WT diffs under his NT LWB at the moment.

You'll have to move the spring mounts if you want to leave the diffs alone.
Havent you got the yj kit ?,try copying the mounts offsetting where the springs bolt to.
