what year model 80 do you have ?
you will need to check the drive spline length they went to a longer spline end of 92 -93 i think ,same time as 16 inch wheels and big brakes and 4.5 were introduced
this was to try and stop spline wear in the full time models
all part time models ran the shorter spline
see what you have then work out if you need to cut your cv's and re-grove them
you can get spacers but i would not recommend them as they weaken the already weak link of your cone washer stud set up

I have solid axle lux ones on my 80..

It was 94-95 that the 80's came with longer cv's. NOT when they updated motors, as mine was 4.5 with the short cv's. BUT even if u have an 80 with the long cv's, u can cut 5mm off the end of the cv stub with a grinder and then put a new groove round the cv shaft with the grinding blade for the c clip... is a piece of piss to do!
