[Turbo Tonka]

just wodering how much work is involved for me to move my front diff forward?im only chasing a slight gain to help with my wheel rubbing problem.How much can be gained?and also do i have to change my shock mounts or put hoops in?thankyou

From what I have seen a roll bar might be a bit late. If only Joe would post the phone video.

moving the diff forward is much easier then most people would think. i just done mine last week took about 2 hours but thats been very slack about it. depending on your budget if ya just wanted to buy off the shelf stuff you will need adjustable drag link, adjustable torque rod and axle relocation plates. around $450ish will get ya 25mm forward. thats buying everything off the shelf. we made our own plates and adjustable torque rod and bought a drag link off another member worked out very cheap. wont need to move shock mounts if your only looking for a small amount of movement. castor wedges might be worth looking into also but thats a case by case basis. i may have missed something but im sure someone will fill ya in if i have.

If you don't want to use plates you can just drill the spring perch on the diff maybe a longer front shaft or spacer depens on how far you go foward with it


Haven't put cross brace in roll bar yet and also been to slack to put decent floor in it

thanx,ive just machined myself up some 1 inch spacers for front and rear shafts so im thinking maybe go for about an inch by redrilling my perches than ill just have to get adjustable link?
