solid diff in to 85 surf

[ToyRover]

im getting to gether everything i think i need to put a sold axle under my surf ive found a diff some safari front arms just need to work out what coils to use any ideas has anyone here done it?? i couldnt find anything one site

Common to use Range rover front arms and coils, flip arms to the top of the diff to improve ground clearance.

use leaves, hilux rears fitted up front, moves your front axle forward, is way simplier than coils to set up and get the steering correct, coils are tricky to get right and value for money the leaves give just as good flex for a huge amount cheaper and lots less headscratching .....
don't believe me.............ask around

i see where you coming from but whats the ride like been in my mate lux and its ruff compared to a safari or my old mans landcruiser cab/chasiss

[Smurf]

with falcon springs in the rear and the rear lux leaves up front its not too bad a ride on road.
I have pretty much the same spring set up as Hosehustler and it is a lot nicer ride than a standard hilux.

[hosehustler]

set it up with a good set of shocks(also get the amount of leaves in the pack right without overiders) and some falcons in the rear and it's a real good comfy ride, I can keep up with the coily's no problem

Heres some pics in this album of me setting up a Hilux axle for the rangie arms to go into a bighorn... the process is about the same. I flipped the arms tho to give better clearance under the axle housing.

Going to revisit this with the MU and use this axle under it.

sort of springs are you useing for the big horn any ideas for a surf with the rover, like the idea of arm ova top?
is it hard to know where to weil the arm mounts on so diff sits right
