I might try & do build up thread on the next 2 zuks when some of the bits turn up from the US.
p.s hello to everyone as i'm new to the forum.
Looks like I will be able to compare the ome ruf against the calmini lift!
How did you fit the 33's without moving the diff forward?

I didn't move my diff when I ran 33's. with only 3 or 4" lift, they rubbed gently all over.

yeah, i took it to toolangi a few times, went down the steps, and rocky trail. no lockers, went good. towards the end, the standard clutch just couldnt hack it any more. BIGSTEVE's mate bought it off me.... maybe he knows if it was ok?

It went OK considering the lack of gearing and power, the front clip is now on my zook

Thanks for the welcome.
the diff has moved foward an inch,the rest of the clearance was from creative use of the 9in angle grinder.
come have a look if you like nicber knows where i live.
Did a bit of damage on sunday at mundaring,dents in rear housing,snapped off a valve & sheared the f/left locking hub bolts,the 12mm head ones all six of them it was a pain to fix in the dark.
Ill post some pics when i work out how.
sorry i'm so late replying i had to go to sydney for a week.[/img]
