There is plenty of off the shelf kits that require a bit of technical knowhow and welding skills.

There are cheaper alternatives though, check out some of the build threads on here - I believe HoseHustler has a thread documenting his coil spring solid axle swap.

Or for the same kits with NZ prices...

I have got a 2001 sr5 hilux that im just about got all the solid front in getting a diff for it 2moro it wasnt to hard i got the sump cut so it could get as much travel as it can. its not as nice to drive on the the road but at the end off the day its way better. its cost me so far just under 3500 to swap, i got the kit off SNR4X4 and i wouldnt go any wear alse there helpful and now there stuff at the end of the day.( Also if you have 2 get a 3.7 hilux diff to macth the back its like trying to find gold getting 1 shity late model crap)
