Did you go with coils or leaf springs? I can't see any leafs so I'd guess you went with coils. How long did the whole thing take you, and how much did it set you back?

Its leaf sprung using stock toyota hilux pickup axles and springs.

forum
technical
my new project.
the axles are almost a straight swap as everything just about lines up.
cost to date has been around the £700.00. i have stopped counting now. lol.

its been a lot of work over the last 6 weeks but i think it will have been worth it.
