G'day AussieTruck,
I have slipped a jag front end onto my frame, keeping the jag mounts etc so that the front end remains in modified. The fellow I bought it from in Adelaide has done a number of them on, dare I say it here, early F100's. Although he welds his into the frame. With mine, I modified my my frame to allow the front end to sit up higher in the frame gaining about an inch in lower in ride height from what I thought I needed and was planning on gaining another inch of drop out of the springs, but since doing a quick dummy up of body, fenders etc on my frame after getting my wheels here, I am actually happy with the height it sits at the front and will adjust the rear accordingly. The front end should make for a smooth ride especially being on the factory jag mounts. Engineering wise with the research I've done it should pass through with no worries. I think I have a couple of photos of the front end mounted on my build thread.
