This is fairly common on FJ40s (Toyotas) check with a 4x4 shop or engineer or police or RTA, also check with landcruiser guys you know who may have done it.

Its a good conversion, but I recommend a longer tailshaft slip yoke for the front shaft. (Possibly one off a hilux front shaft)

I would get the paperwork or something sayin that from the guy who says it doesn't need engineering and show the RTA/Cops that when pulled over?

Probably a stupid question but why does it flex so much better with reversed springs? I wouldnt think it would change the flex that much..
