anythings posssible. grind the mounts off the gu and setup for leaf or weld mounts and spring perches on the chassis and setup for coils. drive shaft mods will be needed. steering attention will be needed. unless you are handy it will be cheaper to buy a gq and just swap the front diff.

Not to mention an MK has the rear diff offset, and a GU has the rear diff in the centre.

Thats been my major worry about running a GQ diff in the rear of mine. So the tail shart running on that angle wont matter. If so it sounds a lot eaiser then cutting and off centering the diff.
Its not cool, unless it's got boost :)
