I know the carriers would have to be changed. Reason for asking is I just bought a 29 spline 8.25 with a trac lok posi im going to swap into my rig soon and I wanted to build my current 8.25 (27 spline) with 4.88's and a detroit locker. Question is can I put a 29 spline detroit unit in a 27 spline housing then just swap axles from a 29 spline later model axle or is there more to it than that?

 

yes, housings are the same, only diffs are the actual axle size and spline counts

 

Nice!! thanks for the help

 

no problem
