are the arms different? just by looking at it; the two rear suspensions look like they would fit across.
I have been wanting to get a rear suspension from a scorpio (easy to get) and plop it under my sierra.
No time and money for it yet.

the beams will fit brandon, but the semi trailing arms on an estate are different because the spring is mounted differently in the chassis and the damper goes through the centre of it (rather than off a separate bracket on the back of the arm.
