just considering putting stronger diffs under my 4wd, not sure what ones i could use. if anyone has done this a ruff estimate would be good ...

thanks

60 series up front(dead easy)more or less straight bolt up
can put 60 series in the rear but with offset diff makes it tricky...
prob use a gq rear as diff is centered and get rear discs at the same time
could also coil the rear while your in there as the coil hats are already on there..... just a thought.
i ve got 60 series front and rear in my lux as that is what i had laying around

i mainly want to do it so i stop breaking CV joints and if i can get coils at the same time it would be a bonus

60 and lux CV's are the same, wont help you there, if its only CV's your busting have you considered longs?

As long as your not running massive gears and rubber your diff centres should be ok for most stuff

Why would you want something stronger then?

If wanted just get longfields and be done with it.

You should be able to get this to hold together pretty well with stock GENUINE stuff. The aftermarket Chinese stuff maybe not.
