If the v6 has an 8" Mitsu front dif, and the i4 has an 8" Mitsu rear dif, would the ARB fit in my rear? ha
I wonder if I can swap front running gear with a v6 loaded with an ARB and then somehow also get the ARB into the 8" rear.
Anybody try this or know why it won't work? Besides the cost of the ARB, I don't know why I haven't heard of anyone trying this.
(btw, I disconnected the sway bar and it's super fun! what a simple and profound upgrade! I just flipped it up and tied it to the bumper. I have the hardware handy in case I want to go on the highway or something.)

ARB has a locker for the 4cyl rear diff. V6 front and 4 cyl rear are both 8" ring gears but the bearing to bearing distance is differant.

Really?! I didn't see one in their pdf. I'll check again. Or is it just the same part# as for the v6 front?

The rear diff on the 4 cyl is wider than the front V6 diff.

so with the right shims/spacers it will work? That's cool. I'll start looking for a v6 front set up and saving up for some ARB lockers. Thanks Kevin C, you rock!

just hunt down a leaf sprung Montero sport axle that had the offroad package. Comes with a factory locker.  Just remember, the stock lockers are low pressure and the ARB pump would blow out the diaphragm.

2. the i4 gen1 rear dif

RD110 for the front v6 dif.
RD05 for the smaller I4 rear dif.

Ok, looks about right. The model-years in their pdf don't sync up with my '87. I guess their fact-checkers are more interested in Danas. I'll confirm all the measurements and fitments before I go buy one though. There's a dealer not too far away from me. Thanks for clearing that up!
