Looking for a kit, frame, or bolt on plate that switches the spring perch to the front of the axle on the front end of a high- lift. Maybe someone has an example of this modification?

The way i did it on my Jeep CJ was after i cut the stock leaf mounts off for my Toyota Axle set i just put the fron stays(mounts) on the front w/ the shackles in the old leaf mount location.
I dont see it being a different story on a scale rid..thought about doing it to my F350 but i went 4 link.Maybe ill try it on the tundra i just ordered.
Peace..:Good Point:

Didnt get a tundra but when i get the tap set and do the reversal ill post pics..
OK i mocked up how i did it on my last F350.the one thing youll need to remember is the the front drive shaft is made to get longer as the leafs compress.
When you Swap the springs around you will have to shorten or get a shorter shaft to replace it.
The other option is to lift it enough via longer shackles to extend the drive shaft out to its longest length so as it travles it can compress.http://tamiya3speed.com/forum/album.php?albumid=78&pictureid=562
