Is the hilux surf chasis the same as the hilux chasis?

Looking at putting a coil rear end in the lux.
Can get a rear chasis cut and diff housing really cheap.
Use the bits off the chasis and mount to the lux.


cheers

Not sure but you should be able to make it fit. Got a welder and a grinder? :D

different width axles depending what model hilux you have. different handbrake setup. different chassis shape, this will make the truck high. other than that it will be pretty straight forward.

Thanks Guys.

Nick,what hieght increase you think it may be?

Will use my IFS rear housing as I think the axles are only 5mm
difference.

Rear brakes ,I will use my rear disc set up of the lux.

Abit of extra width in the rear is good for stability ;)
