Ok , read the thread on IFS suspension and they talk about the pajero having a high pinion front diff and was interested to note that . So then I wondered what else is out there in high pinion and since I know buuger all about other models though I would post up a question so people can add to it . If you know of a hp diff post up what its out of and the ring gear size so we can get an idea of how big/strong it is .

I deal with weedy suzuki stuff so will start

Samurai coil front - 7.0" ring - very weak . 22 spline

Pajero Gen 2+ front 8.0"

+ Jimny... probably the same dimensions = very weak

And to attempt to swap an earlier Suzuki diff head you need to completely revise the steering linkages :evil:

Isn't the coil over Prado a high pinion also?
