Considering options for front end flex.
Who has done NT spacing on a factory WT Sierra?
How do you find it?
What Needs to be considered?
Is the effort worth it?
Any problems encountered?
EDIT: Other than the obvious Relocating of perches and hangers.
Cheers.

It works on a NT sierra with WT diffs. So much so that its considered a very desirable mod. So why you are asking this question is beyond me
Get on with it already

I just wasnt sure of other considerations that need to be addressed.
Also, wasnt sure if there were any specific ways to correctly glue the hangers from beside the chassis to underneath the chassis other than doing it.
Prefer to ask the dudes who know than fuck it up.

Just copy the NT setup. Do as suzuki did. Can't go wrong

Don't want to have a chassis poking out the front, I like vertical approach angles. And don't have to stuff around with springs and shit.
But as I said, considering multiple options.

NT(Narrow Track) Sierras have the springs mounted under the chassis.
WT(Wide Track) Sierras have the springs mounted beside (outside) the chassis

WT Sierras have a wider diff, so more stable.

Flex. Keeping a good approach angle. And something different.

I'll be doing this to my WT when I do the RUF, along with custom spring packs.
If you're comfortable with the reduction in roll stiffness that results there's no reason not to do it IMO.

Research. If you can somehow put it on teh front you will have an awesome approach angle + you wanted to be different
