I dont know, but I was under the impression that RRC air springs and hardware were a better swap than the P38 ones.

Be careful if you cross-link the bags, will induce body pitch. This has been tried on a P38 with dangerous effects.

L322's are cross linked, they are also fully independent and a totally different vehicle to a D1, Classic or P38.

I have a mate with a Classic Rangie and 200tdi combo. Just went to Cape York actually, the 200tdi was madly rowing back gears at the first sign of a hill. I love diesels, personally don't own one, and after just swapping the 200tdi out of his classic, I'd say leave the Rangie as-is. It'd be easier to put bags under the disco than it would be to convert the classic.

There are many bits that bolt straight up in an engine swap, and there are just as many that did not. Headache just for an engine change.

That's my 2c
