glaggs:
First thing to check is diff ratios - I don't think they are the same and as far as I know they're not interchangable. Think you might have more luck with tha SJ axels - I'm sure someone will come along and tell us for sure.

jay_zuk:
You need a samurai axle with spacers and then change the diff for a vit diff, jimny axles are no good

suzota:
sammy axle.
swap the front diff from the vit into it to keep the gearing.
a set of jimny front arms
panhard rod
coil springs.

glaggs:
I'd avoid the Jimny radius arms too - I haven't broken an Axel but I've bent 5 radius arms. Now got KAP heavey duty ones fitted. SJ axels are simpler and as stated will accept the Vit dif, I believe the Jimny front diff is smaller.
