If you are going to remove the load leaf from the rear, then you will need a track bar to stop axle wrap.
If the springs you will be using are second hand, then get new bushes and centre pins.

Im doing the same mod to my Lux. Im slowly collecting parts.

For a fairly easy way of getting lift and flex, it does add up pretty quickly.

Yes you can do a RHS front shaft, thats what Im planning on doing. There are some issues when it comes to balancing it. But it can be done.
A dropped draglink is needed, as the stock straight draglink wont work with the lift that is gained.
The only way to not need a dropped draglink is to convert to crossover or histeer. Which is more expensive.

Theres heaps of pics on here of everything you need, do a search, or look through some build threads.
