More trouble than it's worth, the chassis for IFS is different to RFS. Change your driving style or buy a RFS, GXL or Std 100.

A few guys I know with the 8" solid front diffs make sure that they throw out the standard crushable pinion spacer, and install a solid one. Apparently in operation the crushable ones give a bit, and allow the pinion to climb the ring gear, trying to separate them, and shearing teeth. The solid spacer keeps the pinion exactly to where you set it.

For less than the cost of the Toyota spacer, its cheap insurance....
