Have you done this to an FJ55?

hyjack... in!

moving them forward, will this reduce the amount you are required to turn (when cuting and turning the knuckles during an SOA)? and is the standard front drivesaft still have sufficient length if you move the springs forward 3"?

you do this to, more so, change the approach angle than the wheelbase?

hyjack..... out!

1. I did it for Approach angle, correct. With 37" tires I can almost approach a wall and get my tires on it. (almost, haha)
2. C&T angle will be less, correct again.
3. I made my front drive shaft from square tubing and a Double Cardan from a mini-truck. Stock will not work at all.

yeah not so sure the australian transport dept. will like a drive shaft fashioned from a bit of rectangular steel and a few uni jopints they are sticklers over here. pretty sure even an SOA isnt allowed, but i think ill do it anyway

Square driveshafts are fine as long as you don't plan on going over 20 MPH in 4WD. It is by far the CHEAPEST way to get 12" of slip. Tractor PTOs have been doing it for 100 years. This is off topic.... back to SR questions...
