I'm pretty sure there is 4 but I'll check for you tomorrow.
It may end up with 3 as I'd still like it about an inch lower

has any one got any examples of how they did it to a wide track, or do you need to move the hangers in?

is there any implications with doing a RUF on a SPOA vehicle ? mines SPOA Nt chassis with Wt axles on 33's i like the idea of moving the front axle foward for firewall clearance

Im no expert but from what I could think of you would need to consider.

The changes to SPOA geometry???

RUF from what I understand is not great with handling at high speed?

i just want to get all the gear i need to do a RUF but i am unsure of what springs i should use. my current set up is a 2 inch king spring lift so the question is do i use a standard rear (stock) spring or do i use a 2 inch lifted rear king spring up front????
thanks greg

i run hilux fronts all round SPOA and passed the lane change test here in WA... so long as the shocks are valved right and the caster is corrected when welding on the perches it should handle fine (infact you could dial in a touch more and have it handling better, which is how mines done).

nope, it will loosen up the front end considerable (body roll) and make it ride a whole heap better, mine is spoa+ruf. Alien is on the money.
