Good point.

You won't need hilux springs. Stock 60 front springs, shackle reversal. 79 ute rear springs, flipped, superior drop shackles. SOA. This is illegal in QLD, will require engineering anywhere else and not sure on details to do so.

This will still not be a cheap project. Price your diff gears, high steer, shocks, tyres, locker, steel, and you will want longfields. It's a big truck for comps, heavy to tow, so you are really looking at a fun play toy. Easy build though.
