Better for what, there is ups n downs on both
Depends on what u are gonna do with it ie- motor, size tyres, comps, daily, strength- higher clearance..

Everyone will have a differing opinion on it.

Is it only wider u want to go or is there more to it???

I think IFS widetrack would be easier. Isnt the centre on the rear 75series offset a bit, so wont line up with the back of the transfer.

You can graft a landcruiser center section onto IFS wide track tubes as the centers are all 30 spline except for 100 series. Then put an 80 series front in.

Wouldnt it be easier just to use 80 series diffs in this case?

or are 80 series too wide?

I'm looking at grafting 80 series or 75 series ends onto a IFS diff. I want to keep the 8" center as I cant find a 5.29 ratio in 9.5" but I want to go fully floating and disk brake rears.

from what ive worked out a prado diff is a closer match to a IFS hilux but is disk brake. its to much work to get a 75 diff to suit a lux with IFS hubs(you need 80 series hubs and rotors mounted to a 75 series diff)

cheers for the help tho

Early 75 series has 9.5" centres F&R. Late 75 series has 8" HP centre from factory same as 80 series using RD132.

Having the transfer output centred & pumpkin off centre is not a problem, as long as the pinion flange is the same angle as the output flange.

60 series rear (1465mm) is near as dammit to IFS width (1470mm) so would suit, and is already 6 stud ;)

if you want to keep your centres and have width think about an 80 series front diff and an 05+ lux diff, get to keep your centre and not have a big ball sack hanging down getting caught on shit :lol: :finger:

60 series is identical track width to IFS Lux/Runner, bigger gears full floating and if you flip the diff the tail shaft offset doesn't matter.
Not sure how the 60 front would go (assuming yours is already solid) you may have trouble with the centre being too large or sorting steering.

Struth, SAS with a 60 front has been done on a Surf by Woodbutcher few years ago now.
He did have a few clearance issues to work out, but fitted. Would expect it to be a bit easier on a factory beam axle chassis.

Yeh mate mines a 60 it has some limitations but has proven pretty tough so far, main issue is the size of the pumpkin mine needs hauling out and shaving of the top driver side for chassis clearance to allow about another 1" up travel,

Also the steering rod in front of the diff means you have to move the steering box forward and change angle on it too if you take the front axle line forward to give better clearance for scrub radius.
I was thinking more the Lux in question may be solid already on leafs.

Cheers
