how about you search or post in toyota forums and get all the info you need, then compare that against what you already have got in your .

Mq and MK have different springs also in the front, before you even enter the petrol/diesel debate.

I can tell you gq leaf front is different from MK front.

Pongos ,
On the money regarding springs
I very much doubt a hilux spring would be able to be done if its goin in a diesel patrol
Diesel and petrol srpings are heaps different as the diesel is ALOT heavier than the petrol
What is that you have ???
