shit mate shell be looking pretty mint if you do all that to her!! Have a chat to cromcruiser he has put in 33's on his V6 surf too and i have a feeling all he had to do was put in the 50mm raised coils you have already and crank the torsion bars
how was the last trip with kane too?

Thats right, he got his done in Dunedin, replaced rear springs, got torsion bars wound up and had an alignment done....

righto mixed stories as far as i knew for 33's i will need a body lift aswel as the 50mm spring lift i have. as i still have my tow bar on the body lift would only be 2 get tires in (and looks lol but looks alone arnt worth the money) also then it would come back to the old do i need a cert for my big tires convo thats been discussed b4. also i was under the impression that the front dif would be good for up2 about 33inch, tho i spose it depends how you dirve it... also would one of the lockers mikes got strengthen it up???
if i didnt need cert or lift then could probably afford the 700 for lockers lol
cheers Pete

over 5% needs a cert on tyres. My Prado comes out with max 265/75 R16, which means I can just go to 33's
