Measure twice.....always measure twice..!!:p
 
Aussie springs mate, we drive on the RHS so that spring is always slightly heavier, they should be marked L+R (for RHD) so swap them around.
 
I'm running 38's and I get a bit of wheel rub at the back side of the wheel, I would definately look at moving the front axle forward for 40's.

There are a few options to that, but you also have to consider interference with a future 6BT.

In hindsight, I probably should have looked more seriously to upgrading to a 14 bolt with the TMR shave kit for front and rear, though that may still happen one day.

Also, I dislike the NV4500 to split case adapter, although I love having a 5 speed, if I did it again I would avoid that leaky AA adapter.
 
The axle looks like it is sitting forward. I don't know for sure because I didn't measure. Just eyeballing it while the radius arms were on at full droop and now with the 3 link (same dimensions as Shawn's and LandCruisingMy93) not sure if they accounted for the stretch.
As for the Cummins, I have a feeling thats just a pipe dream. IF it comes to be, (I pray for it every day I look at this motor sitting here) I'll move my mounts accordingly.
I want to keep the Yota axles as long as I can. I'm kind of sick of Frankenstein axles (from my Nissan build) but maybe I'll change my mind. Who knows

Wad! Congrats! It's funny that we both went from modded pathfinders to 80s and what's funnier is that my screen name on NPORA website was Frankenfinder88 lol!
 
What is EVEN WEIRDER is that you look just like my old Partner/Friend from my Armored Car days....and he drives a pathfinder LOL!

Remove the roof rack and the 4 rails from the top of the room and wrap the ratchet straps around the axle and pop the rubber rectangle plugs out of the chassis from the fender well side, hook in and ratchet those bad boys down. You know my cruiser, I still get it in and out on 40's.
 
HAHAHAA I forgot you put yours in the garage!! Well I'm mounting the rims and tires (the regular way). I'll see if I can wear them in enough that they'll slip over the front edge later. For now I just wanna drive this thing!!
