Great, ill look into MG Are they doing conversion work in house? or just selling kits?
I need to update my Rear Axle to Disk. And i really need an Interior as mine is just a cargo van with no interior pieces at all. IT was covered in Dyna-mat years ago but that has all fallen off now.

*Generally* I think upgrading springs, even if it requires new mounts/shackles is the path of least resistance. However, that alone will probably not solve all steering issues (Jsweezy's original setup was hugely bound up by the short trac-bar) or braking issues (anything older will have smaller brakes than even a 2wd drive from '08+). Dumping the whole setup for a modern axle will fix all that, so it might not be much more $ by the time everything is addressed.
I really like TTB setups, however I have some reservations... Mainly load capacity (4600 FAWR D50 vs 6000 FAWR for a newer D60) and brake options. 4600 is fine for a basic build, but not for a full SMB style conversion with heavy bumpers, or a van that hauls a lot inside or up top. Boywonder has made bigger brakes work on an older Quigley which would probably be similar to a D50 TTB upgrade, but there's something to be said for being able to buy parts at parts store or dealer.

MG is doing conversion work in house, and is also developing a DIY kit. In addition to 4WD conversions, Michael also does van interiors and just about any mechanical work that you might need.

I'm going to be holding back on interiors for a while longer. I don't have adequate space for doing those right and I have some higher priorities that need to be finished first.
