just trying to find out some info for my cousin....he refuses to go on any tracks until he gets a lift of some sort....bloody sook....
i've got some 265/75r16 muddies on my jackaroo (6stud) and want to know whether i should bother checking to see if they fit on his triton (standard for them is 205/80r16)
and as i know you can't go past 2" lift without a diff drop in the jackaroo(wound up high to start off), was wondering what the limit is with the triton (stock standard is a lot lower)
50mm is the max lift. Its probably a good idea to trim the front upper bump stops to retain some front wheel travel or you'll pretty much have none with the lift. Standard torsion bars can be just wound up the 50mm with some lifted springs in the rear- or you can go heavier duty torsion bars in the front. 265-75-R16s will fit with the lift although they may rub a little on the front mud flaps so just rip 'em off. With the addition of a 50mm bodylift you will clear these tyres easily and you could probably fit 33s if you wanted to although this will probably stuff your gearing.
cheers, so tritons are worse than jackaroo's
muhahhaa
body lifts are out of the question though
that surprises me about the 2" maximum lift... the cv's are almost straight across to start with...whereas the jackaroo is pointing downwards (60mm's higher to start off)

That surprises me too. AFAIK, that vintage Triton has the Gen 2 Paj front end, which will take more lift than 50mm - how far you go is limited predominantly by what you do with your droop stops (and the ride compromises you're prepared to accept) rather than the CVs.
I've got significantly more than 50mm in my Paj, and haven't had a CV problem yet - so, unless your mate is planning to hit some pretty extreme tracks, I don't think he'll have much trouble.
You could probably wind it up 60mm but you will definitely have zero down travel. I have a 50mm lift with trimmed bumpstops- seems to work well. I've had no dramas with CVs.
