I sense someone is dreaming again. With the wheel base on a zuk you would be doing rolly pollies all the way down the road. But if you put it on coil’s which I know you would then you can extend the wheel base.

Also doesn’t gonads run 46’s on his zuk with lux diffs?

LJxtreem had 36 tsl sx on his and they kept on dying on him, so he went to MQ diffs.

A few guys run 34’s in Melbourne but that is mainly mud.

I say stick to your plans that you had at Night owl, the wheel base will be worth it!

i thought LJxtreem hardly had any problems with the 36's except when reversing up hill etc and i think Gonads is running 80s series front diff pretty sure he wasn't running lux diffs either end at PUOSU
if its worth doing do it intensly , better still do it with MADPASSION

LJ was running 36's on his Zuk diffs for some time until a combination of heavy boots dual T/case's and long stressed Zuk axles gave in after about 12 to 18 months of pretty heavy abuse .

Sam used to run 37's on his buggy (granted he was running vit diffs but the rear vit diff use's the same size splines at the diff end as the sierra)

The MQ diffs area great upgrade .. easy access to 4.6 gears and matching spring pads ..

Wide track .. the spring mounts on an MQ are the same width as the WT sierra ..
