Cheers lester,

What I wanted to hear. Now how do people raise the shock mounts, Buy the kit / perches, or make some up.

LOL at Dewse, would like to but not the easiest to access a welder to test out.

cheers

How do you figure "alot more" weight ?? your only running pissy lil 33's You have not inverted a shackle because you could drive a stock gemini anywhere you have wheeled ...

toy diffs are a fair bit heavier(if u try to argue that ive got nothing more to say

) plus the extra width = more leverage

how big are the rubber bands on your hilux? :roll:

id like to see a gemini go where i go

It'll probably make it down but I wouldn't be to sure about it's body condition! :shock:

Nicbeer, i got a stick you can play with it's not the best thing to weld with but you'll be able to learn. Organise some time to come to north dandalup with me and we can play with a mig at a mates house. We should be able to make the shock mounts as well while were their.

I am curious how much heavier they are, as your only running relitively lightweight realitively small radial rubber.
When I was running the Bias claws on the Zuk the rims and tyres added around 160Kg to the weight of the vehicle (44Kg each) .. Thats why I was saying about not really all that much weight added by using toy diffs ..

Oh the rubber bands on the Lux ATM are 32's (measured) .. how big are your 33's (in REAL inches) :finger:

I could drive a gemini around the local mall easy ...

Little boy ... you have never run anything bigger than a 32.5 .. once you have gotten to at least a 33 let me know

And I will send Christover to Sydney to spank you all over the track on 31's ... with slightly extended shackles

oh that might be 302 mm (11.92") and it was a rancho that fits, rs9117 or rs5117 (correct shock number) my shock specs aren't in front of me at the mo so can't remember the compressed length of them
