Ok I have my 34 Swampers on my Jimny. I have almost run out of gaurd to cut and they are still scorching the firewall over bumps and stuff.
Whats involved in moving the dif forward 10-15mm? Is it as simple as drilling new holes in the drop arm brackets at the chassis end? I already have a drive shaft spacer which is longer then needed for the lift and a adjustable panhard.

Mud muncher - ask this on the club site. Mugginsmoo (doesn't use that user name on the club site anymore) did exactly this with his.

Once you move it forward it may hit the tubing under the headlight too. I believe mitch's use to rub in places too. Mud_Muncher will catch up soon and talk ideals.

It has about a 1/2inch b/l. Came down from a 3 inch B/L and kept the rubber tops in there.

Had a ride in this last night, feels fairly stable even with the track width decrease from the fatter tyres. I think the rear shocks Tough Dog upgrade from the ranchos has helped a lot.
Time to get the little blue switches into action.
EDIT: While you were sleeping in until some ridiculous hour today I did some mods on your ride...
