I built that thing to take 36"s on 10" rims (no spacers) and they didn't rub. If you want it to go better PM me and i'll tell you how.. It used to lift a front wheel off the ground in 2nd gear. 13BT's are cool. 8)
36" Simex's is as close as I get to gardening

are you sure they are 60 series diffs in that midi coz i own a 60 and a 70 and the 60's have extra strenthning bracing from the head along the bottom of the housing and the 70s dont and we were working on it today adjusting the steering and did a rear pinion seal and they dont look like 60s to me
on my 3rd POS 70 cruiser still havent learnt

They were the same as the ones we took from a 60 series and put under the big green 40 series. but im just going on what mudzilla told me when i bought it. he also mentioned it back on page 2. all the parts i ever got for the diffs ie bearings, pinion seal (you might want to adjust the shims cause i did a seal when i got it) axle seal were for a 60 series not that that says much as the bearings were the same as my LN130 surf to.

only some of the 60's have the extra bracing on them, not all

They are 60'series diffs,, 60mm wider than 70 series so shouldn't need spacers, As I said earlyer, I had 36" Simexes on 10" beadlocks on that truck and nothing rubbed.
36" Simex's is as close as I get to gardening
