Good evening everyone I’ve just purchase myself a swb lt35 toe truck but after a few firm words with guys from the Facebook page to realise the overhang is I believe illegal my question is what is the best way to extend to the lwb? Does the swb and lwb actually have the same chassis so can I just move the spring perches back?
Thanks in advance I look forward to hearing from you guys

Hi i think legal max is 6o per cent of wheel base, don't think its as simple as moving spring hangers back as don't think you would have the length anyway, plus prop shaft would need to be longer.
