also the rear diff has been moved back another 1.5 inches so it is
now 2.5 inches back from stock
should help with the angle on the rear drive shaft
also front will be pushed forward some where round the 3 inch mark
so final wheel base will be round 85.5
should make it a bit more stable on ledges

So basically its going to be heaps longer, heaps wider, heaps heavier but still with really small road tyres
Sounds like you're going to have a rampover angle comparative to a limo

Gee - she's pretty wide there... what sort of offset are we talking with the rims then? They must be fairly standard i guess - since the axels are 7" wider (i gather 3.5" each side)...

The rims are just the standard off the shelf 15/8 ROH rims.

depends on the ramp I suppose. Are you using the rear ferozas all round? Are they just stock ones or lifted? Why didn't I think of using Feroza leaves for mine? Are they the same width as Sierra springs and will they fit the Sierra spring pads?

Graham gets his own back.
FYI Rod McCormick in VIC has had feroza's in his zook since the first tuff truck.
You said 33 MTR's but they looked like claws in the pic, what tyres are going on.
