Coils and Diffs

Has anyone done it using the stock 40 series Diffs ? I see a few out there but all seem to have the 80 series setup.

Do people use the 80 series diffs just for ease ? as all the links etc are already there ?

How much wider are the 80 series diffs than the 45 series ones ?

nope.

The reason must SR have a lowered front spring hanger is to get the correct caster and pinion angle back as if you do not have a drop hanger then the diff gets rolled due to the spring perch angle.

So if you don't want to have a drop hanger then you can cut and turn your diff housing.
