So a leaf sprung sport axle is a direct bolt in (no instal costs) and can be found easily in yards for $50. Then I can grab a 4.90 non locking third member.... also cheap and comon. Then grab the locker setup from a 95/96 SR, also cheap and comon. This way I can build what I'm need with no fabrication for $150. Correct? (Ive seen various info and have no clear yes/no)

Thanks.

And haz... nyc is fairly communist on newer cars. Anything pre 1996 is a safety inspection only. With how rare mitsu trucks are here, I highly doubt any tech would even know a solid axl wasnt stock if done clearly. Legally my 2.6turbo is also a no go here, but again, who would know its not stock. The biggest catch of all, I'm a mechanic and NYstate vehical inspector... yeah.
