Tuls! whats up!!

Mate - check out Hilux and Cruiser spares in welshpool if theyre still around - i got my hilux front leaves for $90 a pack... cheap as and way easier to get hold of than YJs! (and cheaper).

Theres a lot of work to do the lux diffs, but if you're doing different leaves then you're doing all the diff work anyway so it will be fine.

I stuck with zuk diffs though cos im only running 31's (theres room for 33's but i like my CVs, and 31's are engineerable).

i bought lux diffs front and rear with the perches to suit WT spacing already modified.. the front will be a bit of a easy enough but will make the car pretty high as it will have to be welded onto pumpkin. i didnt want to deal with axle warp so im going links and coils :lol:

If your doing welding for the yj swap you may as well make them wide enough for the lux diffs so you only do it once. For the rear new perches are welded to the diff to match the springs.

Hey Tuls whats happenin over there

as NIK said,move the rear spring perches on the diff to suit.

the front move the spring mounts out on the chassis, its the easyest way to do it on the narrow track .

cheers Drew
