No as they are different sizes even thou they are same ratio you'll find your rear is 8inch front 7.5inch i think

robsrunner2 and Davlux are spot on.

I'm guessing someone told you it can be done.
It can be IF it's solid axel front, IFS no

Check out the early supra or top spec cressida's that have the same F series diff.

Some had LSD, might be a bit of work as bearings etc are different but it may be possible to get it in as they are basically the same diff.

You can get them from wreckers for about $80 so not expensive to test the theory, i only had a half hearted attempt and realised my pinion was stuffed so just bought a complete new hilux diff.

Pretty sure you can get Torsen LSD's for supra diffs aftermarket but again not sure they will fit the hilux IFS.

Why an LSD probably easier to just run a lokka.
