Hey Guys

I am still working on my SOA and i had a question (searched everywhere).

I was thinking of doing rear disc brakes and retro fitting an electric locker into my 60 but then thought of just installing a complete 80 axle with the discs and ele diff lock already in it right into my 60. Where do i go to find info on this? What issues would i have? Driveshaft flanges? Width? Brake Mountings? Anyone done this??

Any advice would be great!

Thanks

Here are photos...I'm pretty sure this is an 80 axle judging by the mounting brackets cut off. This link is on the Ih8mud.com tech links page-->axle tech--->e-locker photos.

I would definately go for a front / rear combo so the width matches. The width would probably work well w/ soa.

let us know how it goes,
