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
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.
