Not sure mate, I didn't get any warnings about it when fitting it all. Hopefully it shouldn't stress them too much

Its also a lot more load on the c.v's. the rotational torque would increase bu a large amount also.

Yeah durashock specialize in cv's that's why I went with the 65mm lift not the full 3" these guys are primarily driveline components so I trust them enough to keep it reliable

Neither Kwyjibo or I have had any wheel bearing or CV issues with zero offset so I think you should be OK.

Bearing in mind I only use them off road so they aren't on full time, but I'm pretty sure Kwyjibo ran them full time for quite a while until he got a second set.

The wheel bearings on these are quite good quality. They are fully sealed units and the only failures I've heard of are from contaminate ingress when the seals have failed (or may have been poor from manufacture).
I hate to advocate drugs, sex, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they’ve always worked for me.

Oh that's good to know cheers homer. I'm going to put a decent set of road tyres on my triton rims and keep the big ones only for off road use also.
How did u go with the spare homer? Can these tyres be let right down and squeeze in underneath? Or do u have to carry yours in the tray

Mine aren't the 305's but I don't think you will fit a spare in there.
Maybe if you let it down but I would rather carry an inflated spare in the tub than a flat spare underneath.

Check out Homer's sig line above ^^^^^ ;) 3rd line..."How to post pics on this site" :)
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything important, it's too late to stop reading it.

Or if you have photobucket...Up load your image...then click on the photo... edit, resize 640x480 usually good size..... save a copy, click on the picture again (the saved copy)...then click share ... then click on the link code tab.. then go down to IMG for bulletin boards & forums... then copy and paste the link code (full size) into the forum...but try doing all this in the sandpit
here viewforum.php?f=75

Works for me :mrgreen:

the line of code is correct apart from a space between the end bracket and the [ /

open your shed (or any place that has pictures on the net), right click the photo and copy image url.
