hi guys im only new to zuks and haved searched but cant seam to find any info on how to move my front diff forward to run 33s.

its a 92 sierra with wt diffs . it has the calmini shackels reversal kit in it and calmini 2" lifted leaf springs.

any info on how to move my diff forward will be great
and sorry if this info is already on here but i did search

cheers guys

[tanshi]

with the shackle reversal on it, it will be extremely hard to move the front diff enough to clear 33s

[LittleJeep]

Just redrill the perches on the diff housing.

[dexter]

hmm ok so the reverse shackels make it harder . damn

[tanshi]

yep its harder because they make the diff move toward the fire wall when the diff moves through its travel.

standard spring setup it moves away.

[dexter]

so drill the pirch on the diff might be the way to go ?

or maybe i should spring it over and drop the lift thats in it

[tanshi]

i would

do a guard chop to fit the 33s

do a rear up front

piss off the shackle reversal.

off topic, but what is the purpose of a shackle reversal?

[trite]

No idea.... and I ran one

Actually, they theoretically improve ride because the axle path is more rearwards, so as the car hits a bump the axle moves up and back instead of trying to push forwards.

Steering improves because the drag link is on the same side of the axle as the fixed chassis mount so there's less shackle wobble as you steer, however, the downside is that as the car body rolls, the axle rolls against the steering instead of with it.

There's no good reason to run one.

if your wanting to move your diff forward why dont you at the same time chuck a set of lux diffs under her and be done with it kill two birds with one stone.

my front diff is about 6" forwards from stock.... i run 31's and had to add bumpstop spacing to stop the tyres hitting behind the headlights, even after a ton of metal was chopped out under there =P

Because that would be pointless unless the OP wants to run over a 33" tyre, and there's no indication they want to do that.

[trite]

he will lol dexter?? you know you wanna

[dexter]

Yeah Tritain you know as soon as I find a set of lux diffs with lockers I'll put them in and coil front and rear. It's just a money and time situation lol
