And Detroit locker diff
And for some reason the steering is so unbelievably hard when u get to about 100 ks its light but to drive around on the street forget it

And when i engage n lock front hubs i got to absolutly jump on the steering wheel to turn it I can't even bare it iv givin up on going off road it annoys the crap out of me

Is this normal or could there be more to it then meets the eye

Thanks guys hope someone can help me out

X2...
Get a PS steer box from a IFS Hilux, Surf or 4Runner and a crossover steering kit from Superior or Lowrange.

Being serious now, have you checked your tyre pressures?

Check out the uni's on the steering shaft too. They might be half seized. I had an 85 lux and the steering was pretty light. If you do go highsteer it used to be cheaper to get arms from Skyracing in the states. I think Lowrange may distribute them now too. They were heaps cheaper but that was near on 10 years ago now. Just make sure you get right hand drive ones. Obviously being the states the majority are left hand drive. At the time it was only sky that would make right hand drive ones for us Aussie's.

EDITED TO FIX MY BRAIN FART

I put some air in the tyres but not to sure what of should be on the way low bout 17 psi well I think that's low
What's about the pressure they should be on there 31s road tyres ?
I put them to 25 psi is that to hard or soft ? Did make a fair bit of difference
