it depends how much work you want to put into it really i think the vitaras have coilovers but the sj's have leaves so youd have to convert the suspension setup which is alot of work and it depends if the springs are lift springs or not it might be easier to but new parts...

Hi and welcome.

Shouldnt be too hard to find some springs and a diff.

Or repair the current diff?

those bits you need shouldn't be too hard to find. I might be offering diff rebuilds soon as well if you just want yours rebuilt?
