75 series utes coil conversion?

Post by zookprojectfnq »

I would like to convert my ute to coil 5 link rear and 4 link front. Just wondering if any one has done this or has photos of it done. I was thinking of using 80 series diffs and arms and welding all the mount point in? Maybe 79 series front arms and diff for front set up.
Surely someone has done this


The ute in question

Don't pick on my wiring. It has been changed and neatened up. That was just to get my lockers going one weekend

My mate has done this. He said if he were to do it again he would put a 75 cab on an 80 chassis.
