36" on RR

[swamp]

I am looking to up size my tyres from 9/34's actual 32.8 on a 40mm body lift that rub on fullstuff at the rear on the top of the inner guard, and at the front they rub on the fire wall opposite my feet.
Increasing the body lift by say 25mm will help the rear but not do as much to the front.
I have seen ads for longer front radius arms for nissans to allow fitment of larger tyres as they seem to suffer the same problem. But I thought that this would upset all the other geometery ie, panhard rod,spring perch location,bump stops and other arc of travel stuff. As if it isn't a great problem I could lengthen the radius arms or put in a couple of extra washers at the chassis end as i've got about 20mm of thread protruding on the radius armwhere they bolt to the chassis.
What I would like to acheive is q78's with minimal body lift /maximum up travel
If anyone can enlighten me on the previously mentioned quandary that I find myself in I will have a quiet word in my good friend santa's ear to look favourably upon them in the upcoming festive season, even if you haven't been good

Rangie Spares may have some good tech here. They are currently developing flares for 36" rubber.

Put in the bodylift, offset the rims and just extend the bumpstops. Uptravel is over-rated!

Just remember...

Compression is an offroaders best friend.

So long as clearance is available do it.

And if it ain't....

Make clearance...

Hell, It's only metal!

Just think all Christmas to cut the shit out of yer car.

Go on yer know yer want to?

P76 my car was once baby pooh brown but it's now virginal white , it has been up numerous hills with your blue machine. You will have to guess from there on how many doors it has.
I would like to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible for side slope ability and overall handling. I think that up travel is something that you cannot have to much of as the wheel that is articilating up is the wheel that has the most downward pressure on it and hence the most traction. THe wheel on the opposite side of the axle is acting more as a stabiliser and less as tractive power as the vehicle weight load is shifted fromm 50/50 on level ground to the point where it gives no traction ad vantage just before it leaves the ground.So the theory goes that the more one side can go up the more tractive power is applied to the opposite wheel.
And this also makes the thing more stable.
If anyone who has put 36's on anRR has got any tips for us , feel free

I like stuff and that.

I think the other white rangie that sometimes comes out with you (the one with an exhaust pipe as a snorkel) has around the size you are looking for. He had to do some modifying to the inside of the wheel arches.
