thats great i want my tires look wide :))

output shaft is plug and play to my differential? or i need my old ?

I'm glad you like it. Personally, I'm not sure it looks right, and is marginal on whether it would even be legal in the UK. I wouldn't really call it plug and play!!

it is plug and play mechanical,
my plan is conversion to wide body(m rear end..)..in Croatia also is not 100% legal, but i will make it legal 8-)
