shaft flanges are 108 as apposed to 100, you can space, wouldnt recommend running a 4x4 rear diff with a 2wd if were talking cossie, normal sierra fine.

You will need different driveshafts

you will need to chang ethe drive shatfs as said due to different flange sizes

ok no worries.. so are the shafts on a 2wd different lengths to a 4x4.. ?
its only as a mate has a low miles one for a 4x4 and my 2wd one is nearly dead.. .. i had an idea about the flanges being different sizes but wondered if just the inner ones on the shafts could be replaced to suit..
