Maybe use this to make money to buy the ratios you want. Honstly tho try the landcruiser bible the rear diff in the 80's are a 9.5 inch so i'm lead to belive and the fronts being high pinion have reverse cut gears so you can't chop and change between hi and low pinion diff's. http://www.justdifferentials.com/
plenty of parts on the bench

Firsty, work out what size crown wheel you have in front and rear (may be different don't know middy's), then you can see what your choices are for gearing.
