Most of the 4x4 Luvs had 4.10 gears. If anything else was put under them, I haven't heard of them.

A lot of troopers had 4.55 gears.

Others here have suggested that the front differential from a mid-80s trooper is a bolt-in swap.

The rear-end can be adapted to go under the Luv. If you get one from a disk-brake trooper Isuzu 12-bolt), you will also have the advantage of 4 wheel disk brakes. There are other posts about bolting trooper differentials into Luvs.

Also, if you ever decide to use a locker, the Isuzu 12-bolt rear-end can take a locker. (Currently, no one makes one for the Luv differentials.)
