whats wider GU v 60 and 80series difs

[known 2]

looking at putting some wider diffs under my 75 when i lift it can anyone tell me wich is the widest and will the gu diffs even fit under it with there diferent pumkin placment?

and is there much diference between the 80 diffs and the 60's, width and strength wise?

the car has a v8 if that makes any diference.

cheers

80 series

60 series have issues with diff pumpkin being where spring mount needs to be but i think 80 diffs it clears

otherwise you could just go coils

oh and 80 series has a smaller front diff bit can be as strong with a air locker in it

the gu diff will fit front but rear is centre pumpkin so wont fit
mab 80 rear gu front

theres a thought, depending on how much it all costs just leave the rear leaf and put a gu coil sprung front end.

have to find out what i need to clear 38/14's tho

what gets in the way of the centered pumpkin?

Unfortunately the 80 centre is still weaker than the 60 even with an ARB inside. Not that an 80 diff wouldn’t make a good transplant, it all depends on your driving style, where you are driving it and tyre size.

GU is wider again than 80 gear. Depends on what you really intend to do with it and your bank balance.

i enquired about this, putting 80 diffs under my 75. basically in QLD you've got no hope of getting it engineered, or if you do it will cost you thousands. That's what was told to me anyway. let me know if you find out differently coz i'd still be interested in doing it.

i decided to go with re-centred 3 inch rims purely for off road stuff.

the tail shaft comes out of the transfercase on the rite side and dosn't look like it will conect up with a center pumkin.

so for the rear ur saying the 60 series diff is stronger but wich is wider 80 or 60

[A1]

80 is wider than the 60

[-Richo-]

80 is wider than the 60

60s track is 1470mm
80s track is 1600mm

you can run driveshafts at an angle, that'swhy they have uni joints

the rear, the 60 and 80 are the same pretty much.
the front the 60 is stronger.

[bru21]

just the plane of the angle changes. Therefore the angle should not be greater

ok then all sounds simple enough what about cv strenth wich is stronger of the 80 or the 60

[professor]

ok then all sounds simple enough what about cv strenth wich is stronger of the 80 or the 60

80 by far.
