Opinions, L/C rearend in lwb sami

So that's my ? guys, how much extra weight and width is it and is there any advantage to having the extra weight in the back for flex and traction purposes? My lwb has yj's all round and currently has toy axles/410's, 4.89 tcase,1600 8v (soon to be 16v). It's the diff off set that has me thinking about this swap. thanks for tuning in.

come on, somebody must have a serious opinion on this. Is anyone running this set-up? I've heard that the l/c rear is heavy but what the real poop on this.

it's like 8.5 - 9 inch ring gear... it's HUGE. it is over kill, but it's your rig right?

do you have any problems with your driveshaft in the lwb now? if not.. why worry about it. you will lose ground clearance, most toy LC axles are the same width as the mini trucks. if you want wider get a tacoma axle.. or an 86+ rear axle from a truck with ifs.
