ok people if i do a 2 in the body on wt diffs could i fit 31s. With out any rubbing

[Scrawny]

2" body lift I'm guessing?

Yes, with a little seam bashing too

Wouldnt it be more sensible to do it in the toilet??

[hooki]

with standard suspension?

[_noddy]

where it will still have standard suspension in it

[joeblow]

if you want to shag your tyres out then go for it.

[Damo]

You will need to clearance things a little but not huge amounts. Moving the front diff forward slightly helps too.

What offset rims are you going to run on it?

[_noddy]

i think there 1.5 inchs offset rims

[hooki]

probably do-able if you moved the diff forward as it would move the tyre further away from the firewall. but i'm taking a geuss that it will drive like crap offroad as slight bumps will cause the tyre to thrash the gaurds. you could always do a virtual lift and chop the guards out a bit.

[_noddy]

so wat eles would i have to do to it tomake them fit

[Scrawny]

Bump stop extensions

[_noddy]

but another thing my 1 liter wont push 31s would it and are wt diffs a lower ratios or higher

[mrw82]

it will turn the 31"s but any decent hill will have you burning up the clutch and going nowhere, been there done that. crawler gears are the go.

I had 31"s, 2" spring lift, no body lift, offset rims on standard 1 litre diffs and had minimal scrubbing, the only noticable place was on the springs at full lock but not enough to make it undrivable.

1 litre 4.11:1
1.3NT 3.7:1
1.3WT 3.9:1

[just_cruizin]

Got it wrong Mark

1.3WT 3.7:1
1.3NT 3.9:1

but that's OK I'll correct you

[_noddy]

so i got 4.11:1 diffs now im going to 3.7:1 diffs is that a higher gearing or lower and wat will it diff to the revers

[mrw82]

dont worry greg, I knew what I meant.


noddy the simplest way to explain it is this:

4.11:1 ratio means the driveshaft rotates 4.11 times to the wheels 1 rotation.

3.7:1, same thing, driveshaft rotates 3.7 times to the wheels 1 rotation.

so the less driveshaft rotations per wheel rotation means the lower the engine revs to turn the wheels.

[twitchy]

umm What he said ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


best off road 4.11:1

[lump_a_charcoal]

It is lower - less speed, but more torque.

[_noddy]

i just put a body lift in so next is the wt diffs

[lump_a_charcoal]

I just had lamb korma for dinner, so next is a good sleep, then a dump.

[steve]

you been hanging out on OL to much lumpy

[lump_a_charcoal]

Yeah - quite possibly, every time I see a cop car, I think of RN...

[steve]

see ya lost me again, RN means Registered Nurse to me

I think you mean the less driveshaft rotations per wheel rotation means the higher the gearing?
