ok cool
so if for example i wanted to weld caster plates on for changing leaves to coils would that be ok or would it be better to fit gq diff in front??
this is all hypothetical so please no stuff bout why dont i just buy gq etc
fact is i dun want gq at present and i am only thinking things of wat could be done etc

What I like to say to the buy a GQ thing....
my MQ is a convertable, hows about your GQ!
in truth though I just can't get a GQ in the USA.

You could weld to it, or you could use a 60 series diff as they aren't cast, or you could just get some decent soft leaves, do a shackle reversal and have plenty of flex with leaves - thats what i'd do - depending on how far you intend on going - my leaf mq has heaps more flex esp front than my gq.

i have been looking at taking leaves out and having coil helpers in front as i did that in the rear just recent till i get new rear springs and the whole 4wd is much much better
still experimenting with rear coils to get the right ones but man heaps better on and off the road and flexxes the same as b4 if not better
