With a 410 t box they will be too high. Even with a rock lobster box on standard Samurai axles the diff ratios were too high for 33s. It managed but is much better with the lower diffs too.

Still fit the axles for the extra width. Spring perches will need cutting off and moving inboard.

Cheers jordi think thats what i will end up doing mate you think the gearing n that would be ok with just fitting the axles and just putting my 31s back on , do you know if i could still fit the full flot on the rear , thanks

Should be fine with 31s, I ran standard samurai gearing on 31s which was a bit high but the 410 transfer box will make the gearing fine.

The full float can still be fitted but it a bit unnecessary for 31s.

Weld them on parallel to the existing spua perches so that they are at the same angle just on top of the axle. Personally I wouldn't run lift springs with SPOA, it's already more than high enough and if you go any higher you will start to have issues with prop UJs binding and well it'll be tall and unstable :lol:

Need to move the perches inwards by 40mm.

Take a read here about axle info http://forum.suzukiclubuk.co.uk/vi ... =12&t=2801

As scottie says lift springs will just make it taller. As you are already SPOA unless you do go to massive tyres standard springs will be fine.
