I haven't notched the frame yet. The leaf mount almost touches the ground when it's fully loaded, so even with a notch I'm not going to get much more travel. I got the tires from a dude who imported a massive amount for some odd electric car but NEVER sold any. They fit perfect. nice and low without fender rubbing issues. The front crossmember is about 1" off the ground. I've driven it around thousands of miles at this ride height :)

Here are some comparison photo's of the LSD pulled and the one we are putting back in. The Tag is from when a welded center was in the gear set. The welded center is now in the 4.6 gear set.

When I blow up the second photo I see a tag attached to the drive flange of that diff that says "3.7 welded" !

Roads around Seattle -- in fact in all of Washington state -- are quite smooth, with few potholes

I was also wondering if the clutch packs are missing? Because the case looks identical to the Nismo unit, but I can see the side gears in Icehouse's photo

That is SOOO LOOOW

Has the frame been notched to at least get some suspension travel or are the roads over there like billiard table smooth

.

Dang thats a super old picture of my ute! It's much much lower now :) Besides that not much is new with it. Lets see if I can find a better picture of it.

As far as the diff goes mine looks different. I'll PM Pitroad and see what he thinks.











Yes it's a static drop. No bags! haha.

hi icehouse, how's your American 1200 ute going?



Those look like standard Hitachi H165 LSD units



Pitroad sells the parts: H165 LSD parts

Got two of these guys in a trade. Installed the first one and it seems to slip a lot. Any ideas on the brand or where to get more clutches? Installing the second one this weekend but would like to fix the other for my ute.

Thanks guys!
