depends on the size of the vl to be honest dude, and if the front bumper has been trimmed or removed etc

i reckon i will get 31s on mine with a 3" lift... so probably will be workable!

They will fit with just a virtual lift as long as a few inches have been taken out of the bulkhead too.

Need to cut the bulkhead or run decent size extended bump stops. Anything but a straight flat road and they foul big time. 31s fill the arches front to back top to bottom.

I used to run 31x11.50 tyres on my Sj with just 2" lift springs and 2" dropped bumpstops, all I had to do was cut the front crossmember ends off and fold the bulkhead seam over, the narrower 410 axles helped a bit with clearance though.

how much have you virtual lifted it by?

You'll need a 410 tbox. The lack of speed is amazing and it'll kill prop UJ's too.
If it ticks over...leave it

I found gearing to be a mile out but never broke anything or found it too slow. I would recommend a 410 t/box if you can get one?

Bad propshaft angles and axle wrap are what kill UJs.

I've never had an issue with UJs running big tyres. Don't buy cheap Ujs though, they suck :lol:

410 tbox will help with the gearing, better to run a rocklobster though ;)
