Or SOA (Spring Over Axle)
Some say you can and some say you cant, i think you would be best to talk to an approved 4WD engineering workshop and see what they say!
I think it would be possible as i am looking at all the IFS to live axle conversions been done today!
Now some say when you do a Surf/4 runner from ifs to solid front end they can get it approved because hilux came out with solid axle in most models, however i havn't seen a feroza with a factory solid front end! This is why i think you could!
Also if you can get a 3 link approved for a hilux than i don't see why not!
This is the way i see things but i am probably wrong!

well, you're right about the feroza thing..
as besty has hilux running gear & suspension, he got it engineered with SOA as the hilux is standard that way.
