just a quick question, i know hi pinions are not stronger in the rear but are they any weaker, want to use it to get rid of driveline vib and get the shaft away from the rocks a bit more
cheers

I think this had been tried before and has always ended in failure.

u can use the bundy hi/p or 80s the 80s runs 6cyl gears stronger. 4runner/surf lsd/ hemi fit the 80s centre also, it will get ur tail shaft up 4''

My rear hi pinion seems to be holding ok, althrough has developed a leak around the diff-housing seal. Havent done too many km's on it but what i have done has been hard (testing out supercharger) I am happy with it especially the awesome ground clearance.

Can I just run the hi pin from the front of the 80? Or is there a difference on the 80s?

Yes you can.

If it is has a factory electric locker you will need to do some slight mods to the axle housing.

did the hi pinion locker come in 4.88s or just 4.10? I seem to only be able to get the 4.10s to pull up at the auto wreckers.

4.88s in a high pinion are very rare. Only a few import bundys have them.
You can of course buy aftermarket gear sets for high pinion diffs in 4.88.
