33x10.5x15 tyres on a IIA 88"?

[Dauntless]

Hey everyone. What modifications would I need to do to fit 33x10.5x15 tyres to my 1970 IIA 88"?

I know 31x10.5's fit with relative ease, but would prefer 33x10.5 for the extra off-road ability, and I don't mind losing a bit of gearing.

If I need to raise the IIA above stock height, could I use 1 ton (or equivalent length) shackles on my 88"?

Thanks in advance

Axles - if not you willl be doing it everytime you go out

Could you be more specific? Do you mean I will be breaking axles? If so, are stronger axles available to fit the standard housings?

I have broken rear axles on every series landrover I have owned and they all had standard wheels and tyres - so if you are going bigger wheels and tyres you will need to look at axles as a start and maybe diffs etc - someone else will have to advise options as I am no expert in this area - search of the forum might help.

OK, interesting, thanks for that. I Want to keep it relatively stock, hence my reason for asking about smallish tyres, and wanting to keep a stockish appearance, and stock drivetrain. Certainly gives me something to think about.

Mate , I am running 32x11.5x15's on my standard 109 and if driven like it's meant to can't see an axle breaking in a real hurry. But always a big possibility as they are not the strongest axle kicking about .

OK thanks. So that's a regular Land Rover rear diff, not a Salisbury?

Do you know if stronger axles exist? Also, I intend to install a locker, which I'm sure would be harder on axles.

Did you have to trim the guards or raise the body or suspension? Do they rub anywhere?

Mate, I have an army chassis so it already has the 2 inch lift . But i can't see where they would rub in a big way . i haven't trimmed anything up either . Cheers.

So is it a rover diff or a salisbury?
