Will my 1989 HJ75 diff centers with the factory cable diff locks fit into 80 series housings with 80's axles? I ask because I want to do a coil over conversion in the future

Cheers for the idea mate but I want to retain the both factory lockers...So if the rear fits, that's great! So what other options do I have have for the front? Can my front housing be modified with custom axles? Or can a front 80 diff housing be modified to suit my front center?dumbdunce wrote:the rear will fit, the front will not.
but
the front cable locker is the same as the rear so you should be able to sell it for enough to buy an air locker to put in the front 80 series housing.

Remember some days your the pigeon and other days your the statue
the problem with the front in the 80 is the diff is a high pinion - needed to clear the tie rod. What I don't know though is if the diff will bolt in and the axle spines slot in regardless of the tie rod. If it does then it would be possible to relocate the tie rod to the front with a custom high steer setup - an option if you're going to lift greater than 4 inch. only other options are an air locker as mentioned, or a factory 80 series locker but they are electric and hard to come by.
