25" belly spua??

It's partially steering, it's partially because of the size of the diff pumpkin wanting to get into the sump and chassis.

There was a guy on Pirate trying this, but I think the thread died (?)

There is a SPUA hilux diff zook with 35"(ish) boggers in newcastle,

Im Sure it can be Done i just just the Placement of the Diffs them self and a Shaved top wouldnt be bad idea

would be a major pain in the ass, but you could shift the engine position to make sure the sump cleared.

still, why are you opting for leaves? if you're going to the effort of low COG and lux diffs, why not build a decent coil sprung setup? that way its technically SPOA still, but you can fine tune it a fair bit more.

From that pic, looks like a spoa with a quirky front setup.

Alot of sierra's with 35's, the top of the tyre is inline with the top of the chassis front and back. Unsure what belly you get then, but its an idea of what people are running.

You won't want bodylift on top of that. It will just look too massive.

tuls is built pretty much the same as mine - SPOA on lux fronts... but he runs drop shackles as well as a bodylift.

what sort of comps are you going to be running in? you need to figure that out and build to a class.

X2 - there's been plenty of unfinished projects sold for nothing over the years because they didn't fit the class rules of whatever short lived series it was they were being build for.

However, a comp only car is a waste of time and effort in my opinion. Driving comps and private property just doesn't allow enough seat time or variety. JMHO.

In fact, I reckon the only off road competition that offers enough seat time is off road racing. Same $$$ as 4WD comps but miles more seat time per year.
