I'm confused. You want to upgrade but stay with 27 spline? Why? I wouldn't spend money on a 27 spline 8.25. You can get a 29 spline carrier and shafts for the 27 spline housing

I made a mistake and shipped the arb RD112 to Beirut instead of RD93 which holds the 29 spline so I'm Stuck with 27 spline now. Plus the price of a used OEM 29 spl in Beirut is 300$. They are hard to find and highly demanded the price went high.
Aftermarket beefier upgrade is my only choice. What shall I do /buy?

There's no way you can return the arb for the other one? You wouldn't need a whole axle, the locker will replace the carrier in the axle so you would only need 29 spline shafts.

What size tires are you running on it? If it's 33s or larger I'd seriously consider just biting the bullet and getting the one you really want.

I mean, you just dumped over a grand on a locker. Get the right one.

Contact ARB and ask them what they recommend for you to do.

Can't return the locker to usa it will cost me loads shipping cost from Beirut. Yes the shaft not the axle is needed sorry and I'm on 33 tires. 29 spl are 300$ here. I found alloy 27 spl for 450$ I think I will go for it it will be strong as the OEM 29 right?
