rear locker may fit but the front wont.

You'll have to check the spline count to be sure however.

Springs are different, MQ ones are 60mm wide, GQ ones are 70mm wide.

You can use front springs from a 60 series or 75 series ute. But rear springs will need to be GQ ones.

Lockers won't fit.

I fitted 35's with no lift
--> then made extended shackles to give 2" lift
--> and am now running 75 series parabolics up front cause the cause the stock springs were shagged.

Rear is just extended shackles and shagged springs.

Yes rear may fit in front with mods, ie. get holes re-drilled for the crown wheel

However, MQ SWB have the small rear diff, H233, the utes have the big diff H260, rear locker won't fit in rear

MQ's aparantly had boath H233 (31 spline) and H260 rear diffs
