rear spring swap question? sas 4runner
if i want to change from coils to rear leaf springs can i use the same housing? do they offer any weld on tabs or kits? i have a 79 solid front axle already and thought about swaping everything, but just thinking for now

You can use the same housing... just have to cut and grind all the link brackets off... which takes some time.
Marlin and All Pro sell axle perches, which will need to be welded on to capture the leaves when remounted.
A pickup axle of similar year would just bolt right in there, but you'd loose the option of changing the pinion angle which might be important depending on your lift.
Of course... you could mod the pickup axle perches... but now you just going to have to do a bunch of work again.
