can you swap from a GQ to a GU leaf sprung large diff centres?
are they the same bolt pattern ,i noticed one is stud and one is bolt?
will the axels fit back in? etc
or would it be more practicle to put a standard complete gu diff in?
....some pro's and con's would be useful aswell.
cheers

AFIAK, the big diff (H260) is found on the rear end of leaf cab utes. Some used full floating axles (similar bearing setup to Toyotas). Housing looks to be completely different so you'd have to weld on new mounts for coils. The H233 is plenty strong enough for most so, I dont know why you want all that extra unsprung weight and the hassle of swapping.
