Do you mean 60 series? The 80 series front diff is the same as the hilux POS

Depends what gu rear diff you are getting? H233 or h260? I agree in stock form the h260 is stronger than than the 9in but the 9in has so many aftermarket options of different housings, axles, centers, strong portal hubs etc etc. But in stock form you don't get stronger than the 37 spline axles and 260mm ring gear in the h260

Flexy, is there a way of running the tie rod in front of the diff as apposed to the rear, i fear my PP LA kit will not fit with out this mod.

How are you going to keep the Nissan drop? Seems like the hardest way to do it?
