"then I can get my truck inspected and engineered." This is in queensland? How do you go about doing that? When I called QLD Transport they said they don't do it.

I've got the rancho adjustables, they're pretty sweet. Only done moderate 4x4 with them so far. Wouldn't mind hitting hard stuff and turning them right down to see the difference. The rig look awesome.

Tuff Triton

Comment:

Muddo, Thanks for your interest in my truck. As my truck is the ongoing development vehicle for Tuff Dog Suspension - I can't really tell you how much a complete suspension lift would cost, but I would suggest you contact 4way Suspension at Blacktown, NSW who sell Tuff Dog. With regards to my truck, I have a 2inch (50mm) suspension lift (taller springs) in the front, with taller heavy duty new rear leaf springs and longer travel (9 settings adjustable) shock absorbers. I have also installed 50mm Snake Racing body lift blocks (which took 3 or 4 blokes half a day to do) I had to extend the fuel filler hose and remove the lower fan belt guarding, and reweld the bull bar mounting points had to be customised to allow for the extra height. All I have to do now is get my speedo re-calibrated the n I can get my truck inspected and engineered. All this work has allowed me to install 35 inch Micky Thompson MTZ tyres and improve not only my ground clearance but better wheel travel as well. I don't think Calmini do a Triton lift kit and I like the way the Snake Racing use solid aluminum blocks.

No worries mate. I'm trying on a set of wheels this weekend that are +5 just trying to get an idea of how they'll fit.

Comment:

Mud did you make a typo when you said positive offset to suit a triton? What offset are they?

Austblue

Comment:

Mate, just wondering how you went with the offsets on those rims. MT just told me they only come in positive offsets and ours are -30mm aren't they?

Muddo, love this ute in the flesh. I saw it at Bunnings Townsville a couple of months ago, I took a pic on my phone to show my missus the MTZs and beadlocks. She loved the look of them too. Good effort.
