Hi Guys,
In Australia we run up to 35" on Gen 2 trucks with torsion bar crank & 1" BJ spacers, doing HARD offroading, with no rubbing.
However, once the BJ spacers are in, the front end suffers from severe bump steer in droop, where the wheels toe in. This combined with steep driveshaft/CV angles can cause them to fail on the trails.
To remedy this I will space the diff down 30-40mm (1 1/4" - 1 1/2") and manufacture steering arms to lift the outer tie rod joint about the same amount to restore the geometry.
If you haven't seen it yet, you can easily make your own BJ spacers, and fit em. Check out www.toyotasurf.asn.au and go to the techsite.....
