Does anyone know the spec of the cab rear axles in comparison to a GTi6 one?
Looking for a replacement for one of mine and can get one off a cab but I'm unsure of arb & torsion bar specs in comparison to the GTi6's

Yep, TBs are just standard 19mm. No idea about the ARB.

18mm arb, that is small. I thought the cab would have larger due to the extra weight

was after another axle as the gti6 I'm driving at the min is extremely low (I didn't lower it) and when I tried to pull the axle apart not even the arb would come out which I've never had before...
I was going to source another axle and was offered a cab one but not too fussed now as I'm not keeping the car and it doesn't seem to scrub or catch on general driving.
