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.

i have a wt diff here set up for nt spacing complete. the zook it came off flexed really well

[Fatzook]

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

[SierraDan]

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.

not worth the effort i say, ruf it and see how you like it...

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.

[31zook]

coils

[SierraDan]

That would be ideal haha.
Way out of my ability me thinks.

[Ridge]

if your moving mounts around, why not ruf it at the same time?

[dbona2]

probaly a stupid question but whats the difference between nt and wt??

Not sure I want RUF. that's why I'm looking at other options.

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

[dbona2]

what sort of benifits do you get from a wt sierra though

[SierraDan]

WT Sierras have a wider diff, so more stable.

a wt is a little bit wider and a bit newer. nt lwb's are the coolest but.

If they have WT diffs

[31zook]

so what are you actually after? more flex? better ride? a different car? to everyone else? confused?

[SierraDan]

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

nope. a nt lwb with wt diffs is in the awesome category.

What's that?

[Damo]

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.

[31zook]

dan will get it done before you damo

Cool, I can see how it works on his first. I've more guard chopping and diff repairs to do before I start that

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

[SierraDan]

Is it legal?
