Did you post this question over at MVS? Someone asked that a few days ago...

I believe the answer is Yes. You'll have to get new shock mounts, too.

You will also have to get heavier springs as well.

Yes, it can be done. You will need the correct springs, shocks, and mounts. You may need to mod the top mount mounting position I believe.
