Do they scrub anywhere I have a my12 order and a set of 285/75's from my RR was wondering whether they would go straight on?

There is also an offcentre see-saw action with the compressed spring being the fulcrum, which transfers some of the weight on the compressed spring over to the drooping wheel. At the limit, retained springs negate that see saw effect.
Then again, I do have a much wider wheel track that restores any stability I may have lost compared to a standard setup,so I don't mind if the body leans over a bit more on sideslopes. I may not feel quite so confident with standard width axles though so a lockable antiroll bar, engageable from the cab would be up there on my 'to do' list.

Bill, unfortunately I lost the hard drive where I saved some copies of your flex pics. They are posted in other threads/forums somewhere though.

I don't think I would be far wrong claiming your landie flexes better, particularly front to rear balance, than anyone else here.

John, are these the lost photos of Bills Landy?








Bill, I dont think the Vise on your bullbar is compliant with ADR's pertaining to pedestrian safety

Speaking of Flex,

this reasonably standard looking 110 has some impressive flex,
check out the length of the front springs.

It's hard to see but I think it's a 3 link front, were the radius arm attaches to the axle housing it seem higher up then standard.
