I worked out the code on my vin, turns out surfs have 4.88 ratio (well mine does anyway..2LT-E)

So for easy 4.88 ratios in a lux housing, you could swap them.... yes or are they different.

i want a coil front and got a clean hilux front ready to be coiled, just wanna know if a surf LSD rear diff, would fit in the front of the lux housing. i know the normal lux centres are interchangeable between front and rear...

yep sure will

Have a look at the LSD but, on my lux i had to shim the lsd 1.2mm either side of the lsd, to make it work as a lsd and not as a open centre....

i'd jack a wheel up and try spinning the wheel in the air and see how much friction the clutch washers have.... other wise id shim it up a little before you throw it in the front (just not too much other wise it will put pressure on the steering a little)

You prob know this but thought i'd mention it.
