I *think* I remember seeing them once on a Jack in an auction house. Can't exactly remember, but they were sizable.

I think you will find that a body lift is in order to squeeze that amount of rubber under the guards without rubbing. When I was researching around I found an Isuzu forum with heaps of info in the States www.4x4wire.com.

check out the expeditions west site for the details on their trooper, they run that rubber but it does give a bit of rub.

But dont forget ya crazy bugger you will need to lay out about $800 - $1000 for a set of trans case gears to bring the gearing back in line as it will be really overgeared and you wont be able to pull the skin off a custard.

Whats next? the alpine developments 6psi blower kit !!
