What is the numerically lowest Sierra diff ratio?

Post by N*A*M »

Did Suzuki ever make any R&P ratio around 3:1 or numerically less that can fit into wide track Sierra diffs?

i don't know if they would fit, or what the ratio of them is, but I looked under a suzuki carry at the wreckers on the weekend, and the diff centre looks surprisingly like a sierra one.
Does anyone know if this is possible, and what ratios they are?

Ok nam ,
Are you having a brain fart ? :finger:

What are you trying to achieve ? :idea:
You can pm me if secret squirrel stuff ;)

1 - 3.7

Im not entirly sure on this one BUT ,
I have heard that carrys have lower ratios than LJs , And Some comp ljs
not including ones that are green , run carry centre Parts Not the complete centre , but parts so i assume they would be the same physical
size as a 1ltr centre not a 1.3. only a hypothesis. but they use them to gain LOwer ratios maybe round the 6 mark. :?:

By the time you brace the housings enough to stand up ot the extra leverage the protals woud put on them they would be as heav as the axles they can off .. minus the factory lockers ...

My housings are litterally cracking up with just 35's .. Iamgine the extra leverage of portals and say 35's or 37's .... I rekon you would have custom pretzls in no time ... save you $$$ If you must add them to another housing .. why not something strong in the first place .. ??
