hi mate i am in no hurry to sell it and tbh it wont be silly price as i wont need it agein , and thats good i changed mines every year just before winter lol and i had a capri rear axle on mine with the original springs with 2" lowering blocks ( i still have the blocks lol but no extended u bolts ) and by doing this it gives you the 4 stud and then change the front hubs and thats it lol , the capri axle only needs the spring saddles moved out , handbrake cable i used a disc sierra cable with two bit welded on just behind the spring saddle for the cable to go throw , cut a notch in the leaver from the drum and put it on .
bad points of this
speedo will run slow
with the wheels i used i had to use 1" spacers on each side (hard on wheel bearings)
the ratio of the diff was 3.09 and needed lots of slipping the clutch to start moving , maybe you could get a diffrent ratio to be better
this is a much easier and cheaper way to get to 4 stud
only thing is if its used for work ie 1 tonne payload watch what wheels you get as car axle /wheels/parts are not made to do this
hope this gives you some help
