you might have to change the length of the steering rod, maybe you could use a GQ even.

i have a gu 2.8 with the 4.6 gears.
i have gq diffs under my buggy and wanting to go up gear sizes so i can run 42" iroks and get a wider track.
trading the gu in on a 80 series so i thought i might swap the gq diffs into the gu and keep the gu diffs for the buggy.
or put the gq diffs in the gu and use the gu diifs under the 80 then use the 80 diffs under the buggy.. confussed yet?

ok.....I think I get it. You are swapping a buggy for a 2.8 diesel GU to get a 80 series that you are gonna put under some GQ diffs and then your gonna use the 80 series rear door to create an outdoor BBQ setting.
Did I get all that right

GU and GQ have different tappers for the control arms.
Make sure you swap the steer box and drag link over then no worries. I have done this previously
