75series with 35's

Post by GQ Bear »

My mate's got a 75 series ute which he will be running 35's on. The problem is that when he full locks with 33's the tyres scrub-out on the leaf springs, the 35's will be worse.

He has extended shackles giving about a 3" lift and has moved the front axle forward about 35mm so clearance is not an issue. He currently runs offset 15x10" rims (i'm not sure how much offset, but a fair bit)

He was going to use wheel spacers but was strongly advised against them. What are others doing to combat this problem on leaf-sprung trucks? And what are thoughts on wheel spacers?
