defender axles can come up to maxxis 37'' with hd ashcroft inner stuff.

My friend races with an range rover V8 and full ashcroft axles(lockers-axleshafts etc)

ay Croatia Trophy and other trophy races and until now no blow up's.

When I had Superzuki on 35"s (photo from Tom's Farm, RIP Tom) I had a Sammy box installed by Rob Storr, the gearing was about right with 5.125 early Vit R&Ps in, but as (the other) Dave said above, the Landy axles final drive ratio is rather different...

Toms farm was epic, loved that place, there will never be a place like that again, thanks to good old elf and safety

Exactly.
Most people on this forum tends to forget that. Standard internals may be crap. But you can get some pretty heavy duty uprated internals from Ashcroft, RCV etc.

So for at comp truck, LR axles would be an excellent choice.

Not a ,matter of what internals you can fit its getting the ratio correct so you can turn the size of tyres you want
