now a tough one I guess, but since it is considered a milestone in automotive history maybe not after all ...

looks pretty much like a Lamborghini Miura ....

?Que paso? Unt, what? Please explain.

Well, this is the way how it works here in Germany: no tech. mods whatsoever allowed without official approval by technical control (basically the same service that does the mandatory check every 2 years)

Can anyone tell from the pic, if the Hellwig bar is liekly to interfere with the liquid gas tank installed....?

some more pics cragar-etikett (Small) (2).jpg grabber (Small).jpg grabber235-75-15 (Small).jpg This WE is gonna be great fun in getting all this running... After that I will have to get all the mods approved and registered by accredited technical services. This will cost me around 350 Euro. )>)

Found this spare carrier and thought this might be ok if drilled high enough onto the door so that the wheel can tilt just enough before touching the bumper to allow opening of the upper (glass) part of the tailgate. http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/ItemBrowse/c-10101/s-10101/p-100000168443/mediaC...

Would lift blocks be allowed/available for composite springs?

(I'm assuming this was your point.) Right. Thanks for that contribution. Very helpful indeed. So if one was to use longer shackles (not due to technical conviction but because sending leaf springs to Europe IS expensive and exceeding their value by far) where do the shims which will help maintain t...

Nice pic.
But actually no need for praying, just post here and you get an answer from Dan in no more than 4 hours.
The question is now: Has this site meanwhile become so essential that professionals can't risk missing any topic or has anyone forwarded my question?
Anyhow, thanks for helping ......

Frank,DL didn't really do a lift. She installed an extra leaf in her spring kit. Kind of like overload springs for a weary rearend (like that DL :muhaha: ) There was no body lift or longer shackle installed.The pinion doesn't change although the tailshaft end of the driveshaft might a hair. Picture...

This may be a dumb question but doesn't any kind of lift change the pinion angle?

Has anyone been in contact with Dan from Overland lately?
Sent a mail twice and left a msg on the voice-box, all within past 2 weeks or so, without reponse.

I like the idea running 235/75-15 on my stock 94 AWD.
Would I avoid the rubbing at full lock described earlier in this thread by increasing the backspace by say 1/2" ?

The Transit is available since last fall with a 5cyl. 3.2l 200hp turbodiesel,
BUT unfortunately officially only starting with the middle-length wheelbase (there are 3 size options), which makes it 5.23m long overall.
That's about 16" longer than a A/S.
And it's RWD only.
