Sierra diffs

I am thinking of swapping my 7" diff for a 7.5" lsd.

Do I need to change the driveshafts ?

Hi snuggs

7.5 lsd will fit if you are on Lobro joints

Careful though - if you're running the little push-in tripode shafts with rear drums you will have to change them too. And the hubs, uprights, brakes etc.

But if you have a 7" with flanged lobro shafts and disc brakes then you can simply dump the 7" for a 7" lsd.

If you go for a 7.5" lsd (not needed unless you have massive power) you might need to swap shafts anyway if the 7.5" diff is wider than a 7" between flanges. I have no idea if this is the case or not though. I think not.

Ooooh - even if a 7.5" is no wider, if its from a sierra cossie it has bigger pcd flanges than any other diffs and super phat shafts. Personally i'd avoid 7.5" diffs.
