G'day Simon,
Not sure mate. I got three items in the one package. Total freight was US$133.55. The Diff Cover was US$224.81 and the other two items were only US$44.69.
They had little weight and size. So I guess the bulk of the $133 was for the cover. Not a cheap exercise, but that is freight all over. If you want it ya pay to get here .
Of course it's got a bit to do with other blokes 'Admiration Factor'
Cheers,
Reg

G'day Brian,
They're Old Man Emu Nitros from ARB. The Part# for rears are 2 x 179 and 2 x 180.
I've got the 178 s on the front. Not standard for 2.5" lift of the F-Trucks due to mine having the Dual Tower brackets. That tends to shorten the mounting distance between the top and bottom mounting points.
They seem to do the job and I've been over some bloody rough country with them and loaded towing 3.5T.
Cheers,
Reg
