I was going to put a salisbury diff in the rear to help but then front would still grenade its self when backing out of a hard place where you cant turn around. Happens a lot here
I don't say this sort of thing often but here......
If you can run 4.7s with 35ish tyres and not break them you must be very gentle and not venture far away from a car park NOT RECOMENDED trust me

I had part ownership of a ex mil 2a that we bought for the nissan trials at putty,we fitted 35 silverstones and never broke a thing after four outings and my mate used it everyday to drive to work.I also had 33's on my S111 and all up I have yet to break a diff or axle on any of my seven LR's,same for the gearbox's,we have run 265 hemi's,250 cross flow's,I had a heaverly worked 192 holden and they never broke either.LR gear isn't top notch but it isn't **** weak either.
