gu with the body replaced with the navara wasnt it.

it wouldnt be too hard. but you would need to decide how you wanted to do it. coil or leaf, what diff, what for? etc. would be pretty cool though
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown

Calmini have a SAS kit

http://www.purenissan.com/solid_axle_swap1.htm
If you are ready to take your Frontier to the next level, this is the only system that can take it there. We are happy to release the first kit of its kind for Nissan vehicles, the CALMINI Solid Axle Swap. This kit is over 85% bolt-on with the only welding to occur on the donor axle. Our complete system allows for the entire removal of the stock IFS system and a full replacement, with a full center skid, with a solid axle out of an early model Jeep Wagoneer. The donor axle this kit is designed for is out of a 1980-85 Jeep Wagoneer model Dana 44 (D44), with a driver's side drop and a non-vacuum actuated disconnect.

Price $1795 USD

umm i would stay away from a diy kit from calmini, they have a few quality issues...

as for not seen a sas on a nissan.... dude
know of at least one in adelaide & one in melbourne. admittedly they are on d21 pathfinders, but still. a 97 navarva still has a real frame so the principle is still the same.

theres more guys on npora that have pathfinder sas's
