75 series front diff

[harvey maxwell]

Just wondering how I can move my front diff forward on my 75 series. I have 2 inch leafs and 2 inch extended shackles and my front diff is closer to the rear or my front guards.

Can I flip my front leaf springs around so the longer end is at the back?

Re-drill spring perche 20mm rearward on the diff housing and spring plate, done.

Righto mate, what do you reckon about flipping the springs around will that work to?
Thanks

I believe most folks opt to just flip the front leaf packs around, and that seems to work out pretty good by pushing the axle forward 1.5" or so without modifying or drilling holes into anything.

Can only flip springs around if you have the wrap at both ends, check your springs.

I have the wrap on the end that bolts to the chassis not the shackle. Why does it need to be on both ends?

bit exy for what it is tho.

I raised 45mm with dobinsons hd springs in the front without meaning to, and just used anti inversion greasable shackles, didn't have to change anything with the diff distance. But I believe ya, I more had to fiddle with length of the rear drive shaft...

Did you leave the diff and drive shaft attached when installing the springs and shackles?
From my understanding the drive shaft length and uni yokes are fairly accommodating and adjustable in length from memory. Not much higher than me.

Yeah I did the front drive shaft and the rear are long enough just the only thing I had to do was flip the front drive shaft around so it wasn’t hitting the front crossmember.
