Hey,
I was just wondering what the average price of a spoa conversion was? Also would the standard 85 SJ axles be able to handle 32" rubber? If not what would be the maximum size people would recomend. Im new to this whole zook thing so if there are any other things I should know about or and good website to read up on please tell me.
Thanks

$879 narrow track, $834 wide track.
$2500 drive in drive is a fair price.
Before any body pipes in and says it can be done for $7.50 take their car for a drive...
Drive in drive out means just that, it should leave the workshop with everything sorted, an engineers certificate, safe and predictable to drive.

I think that you will be ok with 32's on narrow track axles, i found b4 i changed to toyota stuff that 31's were good and 33's were too big (could snap an axle or CVin about 5 mins of playing) - but this was on wide track axles.
Skippy was running 32's for a long time - i dont think her had any probs.

MOOSE what drivetrain/engine mods have you done to run the 33's, also do you run a spoa or just big lift leaf springs

you won't need to do a SPOA to get 32s on. I am running narrow tracks with 34" swampers with 2.5" Old man Emu springs (rears all round) 2' extended shackles and 2" body lift with a Air locker rear and rockhopper and haven't broken anything in about 3 years of this combo
We have guys in the club running 33" MTrs spua and a LJ with 36" swampers spua
