Iirc the 7/9 series tq arms are cast into the diff housing, so brackets would need fabbed there, and they use a floating type rubber bushing that is clam shelled on the lca's. I looked into reproducing that and found just linking the rear with coil overs was easier in my application
You could do like the 8.8 mhmount did, just cut the volvo tube off and weld it to the Toyota 8 inch, you'll be needing axles anyways since the 6 lug won't repattern and the 5 lug is wrong. Thats dependent on what you want for a pattern. Commonly all 5 lug stuff is a 28 spline axle, not much stronger than the 27 you have, and 6 lug 4x stuff is all 30 spline
Iirc, the 2wd 1 ton trucks have 5 lug and 30 spline diffs
Thinking of that, isn't the 2wd stuff a smaller ring gear?
Get with an axle supplier in your area to make sure they can make what your going to need
Edit, we had a member rock a 600whp auto 2j through a 1041 with a trutrack installed, just the guts, for like 3 years with zero issues
