nope i havent tried, the bonnet wouldnt fit as for memory the rocky body is slightly wider, but in saying that that width could just be in the guards might have a measure up one of these days.

as for the gearing with 33's its a wee bit tall but when i get the time and money i'll change to either hilux or nissan diffs of around 4.5, 4.8 ratio

i think for memory it is the ln106? but these changed the position of the diffs quite considerably, had to move the fuel tank to the tray, and make a longer drive shaft plus lengthen all the brake lines and hoses, cut guards etc,

best bet is to measure the length of springs that are already in it and find one that best suits your purpose. ie length,center placement etc,

bushes are easy to sort out just have to have the inside measurement of the spring and the diameter of the bolts in the hanger,

i made new hangers with larger stronger bolts and also 3inch over standard length, this gave me 1.5inches of lift the rest is in the springs and body lift.
