Depends what you drive, how you drive and we need pics of your missus and her friends before we can answer. :finger:

i think it is as much about the terrain and the driving style than just the tyres, but for the sake of reference, i have some trail tough chromo front axels with 35" krawlers that are so far handling the load just fine.

Unfortunately though, PigDog runs a coiler so there's no off the shelf CrMo options due to the wider track width

Another axle option is Range Rover. They are quite wide but have excellent brakes, are full floating, and have quite small centres so ground clearance isn't hurt too badly.

They are also offset correctly, and set up for A frame rear/radius front.

They'd need 4.7 diff gears from a series land rover though.

I was thinking rover or gq kinda wanted to go six stud. but would I be better off going mq or mk are they going to have a smaller pumpkin and will the pumpkin sit on the right side
Thanks

Just suck it up and go lux/ bundy diffs.

Or mq would be next choice

MQ/K are hard to work with for coils as the front diff is cast with a spring pad (for leaves) already cast in. It's possible, just messy.

I'd agree that Bundy rear is a good move- It's already even set up for radius arm+panhard - your existing suspension setup.

I think I'd go for a bundy front too rather than stuff around with hilux.
