stock upper trailing arms are 400 c to c
stock lower trailing arms are 676 c to c
diameter of tube length is 32 mm
bush hole is between 50 - 51 mm you would have to be exact with this.

i have 700 mm long bottom trailing arms for my 7"lifted ute.
top arms are stock length but if you had a wagon you would need stock length bottom arms and shorter [ have heard about 15mm shorter but i don't know for sure...anyone? ] top arms otherwise 35'tyres wont fit without cutting metal.

hope that helps :D

cool thanks.

was just getting ideas for converting my 45 to coils in the rear.

was surprised how good GQs flex in the rear. tho id run an A frame.
