hmmm, if you guys aren't allowed to do a springover up there (QLD) then I would suggest a coil conversion. I was going to do superior shackles but was told a few horror storys so I decided against them.

Do the diesel, the gears, and the big rubber but do coils instead (no I don't have them).

with the diff conversion sounds like you will nearly do it anyway.

Don't forget your 80 series master cylinder with those diffs too (eh DAZ)

My shorty was 101".

Pretty stable up and down hill - I found it to be a good wheelbase for a 40. :cool:

Here's mine. Sprung under but using longer springs both ends. Flipped rear hangers. Longer shocks with modified shock mounts on the front. Longer shackles as well. You can get reasonable flex with sprung under.
