I know a few have done this mod... and yes I have searched but can't seem to find their threads... can someone point me in the right direction or tell me what's involved or what to look out for.

Personally I would go GQ diffs. They are plenty strong and have a centred pumpkin like the lux so you dont end up with any vibrations from the angled driveline. 60 series are drivers side offset.

Its also a fairly straightforward job to conver the lux to coils as you can use the OE arms from the GQ or you can retain leaves with some spring perches. I think Overkill Engineering has done this conversion to a few luxes with great results.

I am pretty sure that the hilux ones are offset to the drivers side too, same as the 60. I also have a set of 60 diffs I was going to sell, but am thinking of convincing my mate to put em under his hilux/4runner. ;) Get the idea Sim!!! ;)

This is why I wanted to go the 60 diff instead of the GQ ones... if we need stronger CV's later on, we can just get some longfields!!

Nope, the rears in the centre.
