hi ive just bought some hilux diffs leaf sprung and was wondering weather i can use the original transfer case, driveshafts and spring mounts or do none of them line up. just thought i should ask before i jump in head first.

If you have a wide track the front is pretty close and if you use stock springs you just redrill the perches in a wee bit. Rear needs perches moving inwards. Flange patterns on the driveshafts are different but you can get away with transcase.

I have not done this but did a bit of searching other sites when I started mine. Then got carried away as youve seen. I think I have some links somewhere I'll have a dig.
