I was looking at buying a Scout to turn into a project for a wheeler. I wanna run 35s like I had on my cj7. How hard is it to get them under a 62 80 and is it worthe the trouble?:crazy:
 
Welcome to ihon!

If the Scout 80 you are looking at still has it's original axle set, they will be Dana 27 units. 35" tires used in serious off-road use will eat those axles fairly soon. So an axle upgrade should move to the top of the project list. You can see this is a very common question around here.

An axle upgrade should also include a spring-over suspension conversion which will allow clearance for virtually any size tire as long as the engine can turn 'em.
 
Thanks for the info. I have been a big binder fan for a long time and now I am going to build one. I have been a Jeep guy for years and now its time for me to trade up lol
 
All the typical Jeep workarounds for axles/suspension stuff pertains the same to a s80! Jeeps used d27 axles too, and they broke just the same as the tires got bigger!
