Solid axle front L200

[HARD L200]

Im just wondering about putting a leaf sprung solid axle under the front of my l200. Is it possibe. i have seen a few paj's on here with solid axles, What diffs do you use out of what? can you run a cruisers front diff upside down or something. Any ideas?

no expert in the matter but if u turn cruiser diff upside down wont the wheels turn in the wrong direction, eg front wheels want to go back while rear wants to go foward??

Na mate. i know what to do wit the steering and the springs but just no idea for the diff. could i use a jeep or a hilux or just lengthen the standerd diif and get longer axels? i just need to know from sme one has done simular. the diff pumpkin is offset to the left on the front of a l200 whear as safair and cruiser/hilux are on the right.

Anythings possible, Jeep axels have been used before for SAS'ing Terranos. Do your homework and get the right one as some are weak. Check out NPORA.com
Flipping diff housings is other option, still have to cut balls off and reposition for correct caster angles.
Lots to think about, but deffinately doable
