Looking to upgrade diff centers and axles on my series 1.
I have a number different centers,lockers and 4 pinion, 24 and 10 spline stuff kicking around from rangie projects. So it's just finding axles to suit. Do Hy Tuff eng or other manufacturers make axles to suit series 1 front and rear

As you are going to modify the 86" anyway, I would change both the diff housings over to the wider Series 2A SWB ones and that lets you choose from a lot larger selection of axles.

The wheels still sit under the guards and the extra 3/4" of space between the inside of the wheel and the spring gives a better turning circle.

Good chance to upgrade the brakes to 11" ones out of the LWB at the same time.
