Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey,

Putting a GQ diff into the front of a lux...

I want to still run leaves but i will have to move the leaf packs out, so it doesnt ride up on the pumkin, is it about 50mm either side i have to move it out?

If anyone has pics of how they have done this? especially the shackle setup you used....???
The front mounts are easy, just having probs with the shackles.

PM and ill give u my email, or if u can post them..?

Cheers

Come on... i know people have done this....

Help??

Is it possible to knotch the housing enough?

If you run IFS rears up the front, the extra length will put the shackle mount directly under the chassis (when you outboard the springs 50mm or so). Then either drill a new hole thru the chassis behind the body mount or mount the shackle underneath the chassis. (Probably works best with 2" dropped front hangers)
I have a pic of the latter but its pretty self explanatory.

why didnt you geta 60 series housing? very similar strength to the GQ and at least it would be toyota >_<

If you are running spring over(hilix is SOA yeh?) just truss the diff around the pumpkin and mount your leavs up higher. Free lift >_< Might need a trac/torque bar though.

Yeah, i got the diffs now though
Lux's are SOA

I didnt want to lift it anymore, keep it low and abit wider.
60s are another option, rear is only drum though, have to do a conversion

this is how i will be doing it


and if you are thinking of moving the shacle hanger mounts mounts do it like this

Zook60, yeah thats what ill be doing, moving the shackles hanger to the outside of the chassis, and using IFS leaves in front.

How are you setting up ur steering? using a histeer for nissan?
