Entire rear end? Yes you should be able to swap that over with no issues.



Axle shafts alone:

No. Ill give you just one reason

1. Spider gears are made for 27 spline. will not go on a 29 spline axle.

As far as I know there isn't any issues swapping them out. Just make sure gear ratio is the same.
