As for the Ofna diff, you mentioned the Hyper 7 / 8 diff, the one I linked from Amain earlier was from the 7/8/8.5, but you said it is a torsen diff and might not hold?

BlazerSS then linked to the same diff I posted and mentioned another form of torsen diff that was different again and mentioned the 8 spider as the same one I linked so again I am still confused.

My understanding is that the UE diffs are the 6 or 8 spider diff from Ofna. The 6 gear being the plastic cup, the 8 gear being this one;

So yeh....still confused.....
There's a couple of different Ofna "Spider" diffs, that's kind of the problem.

The one you're linking is a Ofna Spider Torsen diff and isn't going to put up with 40-Series wheels.

This one, that BlazerSS Linked is an Ofna Spider-8 Diff. 8 spider gears, metal cup, extremely strong.

Hope that clears it up.

There's another mfg for LST aluminum cups, if you're still thinking about the LST diff.
