If you are in Chatt area, I'm happy to let you look at mine. I have a full float both in the truck and out of the truck. Pretty straight forward.

@TN FJ 80 Guy ive got a 91 that I did a FF swap on a few years ago and I have another FF that was going in my 92, but I'm kind of thinking of using it in another project...
Anyway the swap is really about as straight forward as it seems. You will need to find a FF rear out of a 93-97 rig. Make sure you get the e-brake cable complete up to the handle. The brake line bolts up to the same spot on both. Basically find a good donor, maybe rebuild the brakes while you have it out, then put your rig up on some stands (or a lift if you are so lucky) unbolt the 4 links, sway bars, driveshaft, shocks, and brake line from yours and roll it out. If you can get it up high enough you can just roll it out on the tires. Then just roll the new one under and bolt everything back up, route the e-brake cable, fill with fluid and get on.
Couple things you may want to upgrade is the brake master to a 93-94 unit @cruiseroutfit can fix you up with the right one. Also, you may want to service the hubs, repack or replace the bearings. You will also need a minimum of a 16" wheel to clear the larger disc brakes.
If you do the FF swap, another good upgrade is to install a set of 93-97 calipers and rotors up front. If you do that then you will have completely upgraded your brake system to the later model stuff which up front is significantly more robust.
Hope that helps, but it really is a very straight forward swap. And it may sound kinda silly, but also Make sure you have the same gear ratios. Most of the US market trucks came with 4.10s, so unless it has been swapped, any FF should bolt right in.
