Hi Reid, No, not so far in regards to curbs etc. The beddie is so big anyways you tend to avoid situations where that could occur. I've had a couple of 6 wheel 1 tonne utes in the building game and yes it was and is a prob rolling up a bit of a bank then not traction. mine has a LSD which helps but one day I'm sure it will happen!
The lazy axle is leaf sprung, not coil, so I can't flick a spring out!
Thats a great looking van by the way! where is that from?
Cheers,
Clance

Hi Ben, nah it isn't standard it was done before I bought it. the diff has been moved back about 800mm and the chassis rails extended by about 1.8m to allow for the lazy axle. I'll put up some pics in my gallery today for ya.
Cheers
Clance.
p.s how did you go with that bit for me?
