35s on 70 series cruiser

Post by 92 safari 17 »

hey all,

Brought a Landcruiser 1988 70 sereis, swb turbo diesel yesterday :D , just wondering if 35 muddies would fit under it with no lift, however it apears to be abit higher than stock but im unsuer, so wuld i fit 35s under it with no lift?

i will eventualy lift it but in the mean time i wont have the money to lift it. :(

Cheers

you can get them in there if the springs arent sagged but there will be plenty of rub :mrgreen:

Theyll fit with minimal rub with only 2" lift springs an redrill the front spring perches to move the front axle about 25mm forward :wink:

The stock one I saw would in no way fit 35s standard :lol: :lol: Even 33's rubbed like crazy. Its got cart springs correct?? A small shackle lift would help and be cheap n easy but your castor will be on the piss if you go too high.

You probably saw one with sagged stock springs :lol: My 2" lift kit lifted mine 4" an 35s fitted pretty well. Dont bother with big ugly shackles theyll fark up your shackle angles an make it drive like a pig :lol:
