im soon to do lux fronts all round... a lux front is 120mm longer than a zuk rear - thats pretty big as it is... as a zuk rear is 1m long.

If you decide to go ahead with it id certainly be keen to see the buildup!

Depends how far you move the axle forward or back. You can get spacers for the shafts, i run spacers in my shafts with no problem.

Check the thread that alien started a while ago, using lux front leaves. Pretty sure that small talk uses IFS rears in the arse end of his too. Look for there threads and it should have the info on them.

Thanks nicbeer thats who i was thinking of, with the falcon leaves, my truck has stock hilix rears in backward (long bit forward), RUF and extnded shackels all round sits nicely and flexes great, you need chassis extension front and rear bout 2in front and 4 inch rear, and my rear shaft has been sleaved.

The brakes need fixen on it so when its back on the road ill let you all know. offroad this is a good setup but will need a track bar id say, mine needs shock mounts and i need the right lenght shocks.
