Ask bubs, I know he put a Bundera front end into a IFS surf.

He is in Brisbane, but search in members for some of his work, its pretty good.

In Qld you are only allowed 50mm track width increase, so to be legal you would be limited to narrow rims with positive offset, like split rims, if it were to be possible at all. Or else narrow the diffs down, killalux has done this.

i read thats 50mm extra track for that specific diff housing. so even if the diffs may give you an extra 150mm wheel track that maybe within the specs of the 80's diff housing.

I have done a rear and now about to do the front using std 80 series mounts, the rails are 20mm narrower on each side, so between the spring mounts on the diff and the chassis i dont think its going to worry it with the lift.. you will need to chop the inner guard also.

it says nothing about diffs, only vehicle track. So you've read it wrong.

same thing isnt it? the length of the diff plus tyre width gives you vehicle track

the vehicle track is specified in your manufacturers handbook.

Does it say in the handbook "Go measure your diff, then add 200mm, this is your track"

no it doesnt, incase your not sure.

the vehicle track is specified in your manufacturers handbook.

no it doesnt, incase your not sure.
When I looked into it it depended on the engineer, some said it couldnt be done as they were too wide and greater than a 50mm increase. Others said that the length came off the new housing, I wasnt prepared to take the gamble. Do some research talk to some engineers and see how you go.

Personally I would just coil the Lux diffs.
