X2 if you going to the hassle of a sas then just go coils. As for putting the Mu body on a lux, there would be alot of work in changing the body mounts and possibly shortening the chassis.

If you want to do a chassis swap I would suggest using a swb bighorn as the base, because it all ready has coils in the rear and from what I know the mu body bolts straight on.

No that wasn't me, although a roll can happen to coils as well, all depends on what you are doing at the time, or your expectations

here's my little bit of carnage last summer, my injuries were badly bruised forearm, shoulder and ego.


Also have started a new prject as well, if yor wanting to watch a 4 coil hilux build then keep an eye on this thread
