Mate, Im unsure what your post says, but do a search on RUF, theres even stuff in the Lux bible about it.

Yes you can put your rear leaves up front mate, aand yes it will move your diff forward but theres a whole heap of other stuff that needs to be done at the same time to be able to make it work, its not just as simple as unbolting the old leaf in and bolting in a new one...

As dudelux said, do a search on RUF as thats the common nickname/slang for it and there is TONS of info to the point where if you search properly you really wont have any questions to ask... Its ALL there... Good luck.

as said yes it can be done, moves diff forwards 50mm, must change steering for any half decent results. need 2 inch extended shackles, brake lines, longer shocks to make use of extra spring, shock hoops, longer front tail shaft etc etc go to the bible for everything ish
