Now, the only thing that I am a little unsure about is how do I know what sort of castor correction I ...

75 series CVs are the same size as the 40 ones. And HZJ75 ones are only just larger but not worth the hassel. 80series are larger again but not by enough again to make the conversion worth while. You can now buy strengthened CVs to suit your 40 localy up here in Brisbane that have a lifetime ...

Re: moving the diff forward in a bj73

What size tyre are you looking at , a simple fix is to redrill the centre bolt hole in the spring saddle on the diff housing and the saddle plate you can get and easy 40mm forward which is good for up to 37" tyres. That is with a 2" body lift.
