Default 2wd diff on a 4x4

thinking of options for when i rebuild the back end on the p1. and wonderd if a 2wd diff and drive shafts would fit? i think the ratios are the same to the 4x4 but am unsure of the prop fitment etc.

help appreciated

All i know is a 4x4 diff is 7 inch and a 2wd is 7.5 inch

I also think the ratio is ever so slighty different 3.64 vs 3.62

^^^^^^^^^ yep

not too sure on the ratios abut they are everso slightly different, people do use 2wd ones on 4wd though, for the increased strength.
