just finished my 1/2 ruf i used the rear main spring and two 2inch springs
and also used 110mm eye to eye shackels and 1inch bump stop spacers
the height from the ground to the lip or the rim is 700 with 32inch maxis buckshots at about 30psi
I think the angle of my shackles are to much though its about 55degress

Nothing wrong with that angle. Mine would be similar.

another 2inches of flex so the inner guards near the head light needed massaging i've also moved the diff forward 25mm

How much further forward does the diff sit from original now?
The rear springs alone would have moved it forward, right? and did you move it further again?
And what other work was involved with moving the diff?

did you mount the rear of the spring in the stock mount or did you drill a new hole?

X2. If they don't invert on full compression it's all good. Flatter shackles = more droop, better ride.

just so i dont have to start a new thread i was just wondering wat u can do about the wheel rubbing on the top of the stock shock mount when flexed and turning? (if u no wat i mean) i have done 1/2 ruf (redrilled the spring mount back as far as i could) i have 31 inch tyres on 15x7 rims with -15 offset

more offset on the rims, or limit the steering...

I have 2in bumpstops and my 31s on 15x7s rubbed on standard shock mounts.
I have done some minor trimming and reshaping of the shock mount and it no longer rubs.

it rubs really bad the tyre wouldnt last long so might try bumpstops and maybe wheelspacers as i would rather take the ruf out then then limit my steering
