Picture of SJ on 31"s. Tyres rub lightly on the front
Got my 31s fitted. Had to fold the bulkhead seams flat, but it still scrubs a tiny bit as I turn left or right.
I already have a version of the R.U.F but I am still using the front upper leaf. So I think if I go for R.U.F again, but move the shackle mount further forward, and run the full rear spring pack, up front. it will bring the wheel forward 1.5 inch, and clear the bulkhead. I will just need to chop off the bumper stay all together.
As for the rear end. It's currently sagging really low. Springs are flat. They're on 2" shackle lift and without them, it's terrible!
I'd rather run standard shackles on the rear too, but need to keep that 2" lift. What are my options?

Chuck some 2 inch lift springs or some rascal springs on the rear.
I would just re drill the spring perches and plates on the front to move the axle 20mm forward without having to replace the springs again.

Rascal springs... Easier said than done. Been looking for some for ages.
Same as +2 springs. Where should I expect to find a set for sale? Never seems to be anything on Ebay. How much are brand new springs?

I have a full set of smj 3 inch springs.
They are a few years olds so probably lift around two inchs
Just looking to get what I paid for them which is £ 120 collected
But if they could go asap id take 100.

Bedford is a bit of a mission for me as I only have the SJ at the moment. The Transit was smashed up by a Romanian lorry last month. :(
Would you post them? Or would you take an offer on just the rears?
