So you wanna put a GQ centre into a LC60's housing to keep the offset?

Why not use the the LC60's gear completly?

ok prob should give a better explanation. i already have mq arb'd 4.6s in it.
I recently went from 35x12 trepadores to 37x14.5 creepys and am now finding a lot of tyre rub. i should have installed wider diffs before but now need them. i have gq 4.1s front and rear diff and also have a set of 60 series diffs laying around. i also have a tight mk lsd in a 4.6 center. while i would like to retain all nissan bits . i would like both pumpkins in the same offset idealy for ease of driveshaft angles . my original plan was mod the rear mq locker to fit a gq front and leaf spring it. if i was to retain 4.1s i would just use gq front and 60s rear but i like my 4.6s. what i read went along the lins of comp guys are using patrol centers because lc centers are weak so they use troll ones by swapping locker splines. have searched and cant find anyone who makes a 4.6 for a lc or a 4.5 for a troll. 4.8s are too for me and 4.3s to low. any other suggestions for better geared wider diffs. oh and as for toyota bits in my nissan I'd prefer not to but i do like the idea of wheels not flying off when you snap a rear axle. (its scary on the high way) thanks

I've got a GQ Leaf diff with an MQ centre and AirLocker in the front my MQ. I've not broken it yet but it worry's me.

Time again 60's front, Less to worry about.

As for gearing for the LC stuff ask/look at www.locktup4x4.com.au
