Checkout your state road rules regarding this
SOA are illegal for road use .....
Head over to P4x4, some over there have done it,but many don't due to road laws

besides the legalities, you have to move the gearbox cross member as the front drive shaft hits it, which is in itself illegal possibly unless engineered.

I think it would be very difficult, if not impossible to do it legally in Australia, hence it's probably rare for anything but comp vehicles, most of which will be coil sprung vehicles anyway. So it might be difficult to find anyone who's done it on this forum.

recently complete the SPOA on my trol, along with that we had to do a modded Z bar for the steering which is soon to be replaced with a hi-steer and single dragling conversion, as for now, she rides well and has given a huge amount of lift, ive downsized to 33s temporarily, but they work sweet........
