I'm not sure, I'm afraid. I only chipped in to make sure that your wheel/tyre size didn't confuse the issue. Darren

BF Goodrich 265 /65/18
I am interested to try the 1:1 ratio,but wonder if the 18 inch will not be to big.
Ls3 is in planning for end of the year
Order i have i mind for now if it works,restored front/rear dif whit ATB’s
Restored LT230 whit ATB,and 1:1 ratio,could this work for mainly road use?


Just to follow up on this,i went for the setup and it works great
120km/ph at 2100rpm very relaxed cruise,big improvement
Pull is also great,still running the tuned 2.4 nothing short at the moment
Guys at Ashcroft are great to work whit btw

I rebuilt both my R380 and LT230 at 575,000km's and my center diff pins were snapped and welded to the planetary gears, I went the whole hog, sleeved casing, ATB and rebuild kit from Ashcrofts, she's just about to hit 600,000kms, and no slop, leaks or clunks, my advice considering the cost and difficulty in doing the work is do it once properly, spend the money so you only spend one weekend on your back wrestling with the heavy awkward PITA.
