It should be fairly straightforward, but remember you will get around a 4" lift then... :)

Toyota FJ40's do this swap all the time for better off-road performance. It's easy in the rear, but a bit more trouble in the front :)

Why would you want to do it?

Well, I'd like to look into it because the ground clearance of my '84 sunrader is just not enough. 4" does seem a bit exessive though. What other options might you suggest?

If I was to change rear spring setup, what could be done with the front end?

I would put in some air bags and extra leaf springs. Putting the axle on top will throw off the geometry of your front end affecting camber and toe in because of the angle change. Most likely an over-steer will occur. Adding air bags will greatly improve clearance. I put some on mine. Before the bags the rear scrapped on every driveway etc. Now it rarely scrapes.
