Over in America the jackeroo's are called Isuzu troopers. I have seen a fair few pics of SAS swaps over there using dana 44's. Might be worth a look through
www.pirate4x4.com/forum and see if you can find any info. Though watch your posting, the members of the board doesn't play nice.
Layto....

dude did a sas with lux diffs to a MU, I would imagine the swap is identical to a jackaroo as they share the same suspension don't they ?
either way, it should give you a good idea of what you have to do.
keeping in mind, lux diffs are SPOA.
gladstone is in QLD, making a SAS swap with lux diffs illegal ?

even 4.5 would be better then youve got but.
should be able to tell the difference between 4 and a half and 4 and three quaters pretty easily.
