Thread: Help PLease - Putting 35's on stock '86 Rangy

3' spring and 2' body is more than enough.

you can get away with 2'body on spring, maybe even less :wink:

Just cut the crap out of the guards.

10's are pretty much illegal fullstop, where as 8's still have some slight chance of being engineered if you want to.

Also easier to get and cheaper...

Extended brake lines are a good idea otherwise you need to move one of the chassis mounts - but that is really dependant on how much travel you have.

Maxis or Jac Mac are pretty much a given if you want minimum breakage - Maybe even go to Toy centres if you can (heaps stronger)
Make sure you are going to 24spline.

Mmmmm. Not sure how you will go with 12.5" wide tyres.

I am running 35x11.5 on my '77 Rangie. It has 2.5" spring lift, 2" body lift and maxidrive axel & locker on rear. It is a 2 door and guards have been cut to the max and I still get a very slight rub.

With 12.5" wide you are going to have to adjust the steering stops A LOT!
It will also be a lot harder to cut the guards on a 4 door but is possible. In the back doors you will end up having to cut into the hollow section which will then have to be fibreglassed or covered in some other way.

Anything is possible as long as you have the money! :roll:

LRA flares fitted to 86 RR:

Its not to hard:

3" spring lift and cutt the **** out of the guards :wink:
I flared out my front guards using sum pliers [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

When you wanna come round and i can discuss sum options with you... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

I might be able to show you how easy it is to change a rangie axle aswell [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] cause if you inted on burning round on 35s offroad in a rangie your askin for trouble [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] I would suggest strapping an antire diff (disc to disc) so when the one unde rthe vehicle break you just do a diff swap [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

thanks all for the advice... i'll have a chat with you Anthony on Wednesday at the Boardwalk Tavern.. you're coming aren't you?

Going down to Maxi-drive tomorrow to see what they've got [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

You can also get away with a 2 inch spring and 2 inch body. 35 inch tyres is pushing it a bit with that configuration, but a bit of guard run won't hurt every now and then.

I'm looking at 33's next with 1 1/2 inch spring and 1 inch body lift. Got to chop into the guards though (when I can afford the LRA flares [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img] ).

Maxi's will definatly be on your list, reading 'prioroty' after you start breaking the 10 spline crap.

Good luck with it.

Thanks Trav, you coming to drinks on wednesday on the coast?

The dunga 3.5 is currently sitting on the garage floor (loose flywheel and replacing the big-end bearings).
