Don't know about the ratio's, but that will be at least another 3 rows of brick above the garage door!

A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.

Hi Donkey
What is the standard diff ratio and tire diameter/circumference? At what RPM do you normally change gears?
If I have that I can calculate the ideal replacement diff for 35”s. You may not be able to get exactly the same but it will give you a good enough idea.

Re: What gear ratios on a KZ to turn 35's?
there are only two ratios available for the front diff on your IFS, your current 3.66 and the 4.55 used in the 2.7I and 3000D. The 4.55 will work perfect with the 35's, but you need a 4" suspension and a 3" body lift to get those in. With 33" tyres you can get away with only one of the two.

I did exactly that a few years ago on "Kwagga 2" we had 4.55 ratos, 35's on 10" rims, 4" pro comp suspension and 3" body lift

4inch + 3 inch= 7 inch!!!Tarquin wrote:when you say a 4 suspention and 3 body! what does that mean in mm? or how does it work?
1 inch = 25.4mm, therefore:
7x25.4 = 177.8mm!!!

35's op 'n 15" rim kry jy nie 10.5 nie, jy kry wel 12.5(318mm) of 13.5(343mm).

Re: What gear ratios on a KZ to turn 35's?
Thanks guys for the input guys.
@ Hoppy - what is the standard ratio on the KZ? Should I go 4.55 or 4.88?
@ Thabo - already fits in the garage
Will report progress on my other thread about the panelbeater
