Hey, im Sean and I've just bought an sj413!

Post by Jonesy » Sat Mar 17, 2012 11:13 am

Paid 880 for it and it was absolutely goosed!! The transfer box was falling off and everything! After a couple of hours I've replaced all the missing bolts, adjust clutch cable, tightened up a few earth straps and rewired the lights. Took it out last night across a stream and stuff and its impressive considering the mud tyres that came on the truck are pretty worn!
Only problem I've noticed so far is that the leaf springs and diff end up on the floor alot. All I've thought of a solution as of yet is to put bigger wheels and tyres on it but then ill loose arch clearance.
Anyone any ideas??

Hi and :welcome: to SCUK

Has it got any lift on it? If so what?

Hey Sean welcome to Suzuki Club UK!

Bigger tyres are the way to get more axle clearance!
I'm using 235x80r15s (30" ish tall) with a 2.5" lift

Gives me about 1" extra clearance under the axles, and I haven't been stuck on my diff or my springs since I've put them on

Just remember you don't want to go too high. The more lift, the higher the centre of gravity :)

You will soon learn how much we love pics on here ;)
