Yes Emailing me will be fine.

Wont the pinion gear also need to be re-designed if it is to be lifted? As it drives on a different angle top the crownwheel if lifted.

isn't that exactly what a factory high pinion diff does?

IMO a very useful product would be a diff center with a 100% stronger pinion shaft. This is the reason why many switch to Dana 60 diffs in the States.

the only couple of times I've seen pinion shafts shear is when axle wrap, on unrestrained leaf spring vehicles, binds the uni joint. otherwise they tend to tear teeth off the gears, which is hardly unique to toyota. Danas are cheap and plentiful and have huge aftermarket support in the US, which makes them a logical choice.
