IFS rear diff only has longer axles and diff housing.
The same 8inch toyota diff centre is used and same gears are used.
Also have the bigger drum brake set up.
The IFS diff in the front has the 7.5 or 8inch diff centre that is different to the rear diff.

I think he is getting an 'IFS width' diff from a 4runner/surf. The IFS front diff is smaller then a solid axle, but really need more info.

yeah its a ifs hilux diff not a surf or 4runner. ok i just herd that centres were different sizes but thats all good obviously just chasing the widder track. i didnt wanna get new ratios due to getting transfer gears done.
