Default Colorado Front Differential, How strong?

I had an idea of doing a V8 swapped reg. cab 4x4 Colorado. I dont have any huge concerns other than how strong the front diff is. If I do the swap it'll be a 6.0/80e with a 200 shot, so it would need to withstand that kind of power.

If its not strong enough, are there any other options to swap to?

I'm interested in this too. Oh, btw I did not edit your original post. I was reading this on my phone & fat fingered my screen(almost dropped phone) and it went into edit mode. Whoops!

At what power levels are they failing? Any links to threads on other forums? Thanks!
