i am about to do it on my ute. i am using gq diffs. i am getting a standard coily chassis and using that as my starting point. 3 Link in the front with panhard and 3 Link in the rear with A frame. It is not a great deal of work.

Other way to do it in QLD is to buy a GQ shorty chassis with diffs, steering, and suspension, then fit the motor and gearbox of choice, and do a body swap. $600 for engineers report and ICV compliance plate, and QT can't touch you :armsup:

Good thing is that all the steering and suspension is off the shelf, so there is no teting required for compliance.

I just ordered the Rocky Road coil kit. Hopefully be fitting it to my zook before xmas - will let you know how it goes. Luckily the laws over here are slightly less strict and no-one really knows about them anyway. :D
