80 series birfs are larger than mini/40/60....and Bobby Long makes upgraded 80's birfs. If you're already doing a diamond housing, get them to put FJ80 knuckles on it....

The
only reason I am going to be keeping the mini/40/60 knuckles is so that I can run TG 6-shooters. There would be no benefit to run 80 knuckles/swivels/birfs due to the reduced strength of the setup. Also the stub axles on the 80's are prone to shearing off just behind the outer taper bearings.
'Pinning the ring gear' however sounds pretty difficult.
