I have no personal knowledge of these but I was thinking about trying them, plans changed, so no need.

They may well be a viable answer.

Yep, they would work. Or you can pull the whole diff out and drill holes in the perches.
As stated in this thread, don't go too far forward. :wink:

:stekky: YEP.

Alot of work involved for something that sounds so simple though... do a search on RUF (rear up front). There is about over9000 threads on here regarding it as its one of the most popular suspension mods for Sierras.
