Looking forward to the builds.

Do have to ask, why spoa for the road going one? Will handle loads better spua, most of us on here don't even spoa our off-roaders, it's not needed.

When I first drove my Kja on spoa, which it was when I bought it, it felt, how can I explain - weird
Since i dropped it to spua, so so much better. And that was just over a couple hundred yards test drive.. Wish I had done it when I first started the build. Would have been easier.

Good luck with the builds, looking forward to them.

I have 235/ 85s for the road one, my problem in the past is lift springs are to stiff, and I don't like body lifts.
Will be going rears all round also so spoa fits the bill really

If you are putting rears up front you will need a little spring lift in the rear anyway. Tyres will fit with just that.

Pointless going SPOA for that tyre size in my opinion. Especially on a road going truck.

Keep it low and stable.
