I might look at a Dana 60 from a Land Lover as I won't be towing - I'll be carrying so the GVW will be approx 7,750 lbs and the D60 is pretty available over here from today's research.
I'm more and more considering running the stock front axle as it is and maybe substituting the big, heavy leaf packs for light weight composite mono springs and air bags to assist and control height.
Any good outlets for composite springs like on a Corvette C4 but for this application?
I forgot that you were in the UK, no wonder you mentioned the jag
One of the other problems you may encounter with the stock front axle would be finding wheels with the 5 x 8 bolt pattern.
