I've now I've seen info on this on here somewhere...Just can't find it now that I need it.
I'm after a quick rundown whats required to fit 'em up in the front. Hole relocation, things to look out for etc.
The rear springs in my RN36 s/c hilux ute were far too stiff and limiting articulation big-time so I swapped them for standard springs from a d/c LN65. This got things flexing quite a bit better and now I've got a spare set of rear springs so the plan is to remove the over-loads and chuck 'em in the front. Hopefully the extra weight in the front will get them working.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on the subject.

If you want them still, then check them out here for info and pricing:

If you want something to lift the front, then you might be better off with the 50mm lifted front springs... although you probably want to do shocks with them, as they are often too short if they are still the factory shockies. They are cheaper tho... you'll get springs and shocks for almost the price of just the rear springs.

Hope that helps
