Ok I know there is heaps of posts about spoa but I have a few specific questions. Firstly what size drive shaft spacers do I need (2" springs and spring over)?

PM "lumpacharcoal"

He has a red zooki like yours, 2" + spoa. Unsure if he has shaft spacers, didnt get a good look underneath when he popped over..

2 x 25mm spacers.

Why do you say it is a bad idea Joe? Mine works great.
I have had the centres rotated so my pinion angles are nice, it handles no worse than any other zierra with big tyres and is still stable off road...

Ah, ok sorry I misunderstood.

Yeah get the spacers, I would also look at getting a histeer setup - I used the OTT stage 2 setup from Rocky road, it is awesome.

Also you may want longer brakelines, and you will need to modify your bump stops, unless the diffs you have already have them modded.

25mm should be sufficient.

You will need a bigger spacer :?
