hey everyone i have an 8.25 27 spline that has some rust on the ring gear and was just going to lock it, regear it, and put after market axles in. can i just buy 29 spline axles and 29 spline locker and have it all fit? i assume this is correct but i would like verification before i buy everything

Yep, you sure can if you use a FULL CASE locker. Not a lunchbox locker.

Yep, or you need a 29 spline Carrier....not sure about the wheel bearings though, I thought the 29s have a bigger inner race for the shafts, but I could be wrong.

i'll have to look into the wheel bearings at napa. see if the part #'s are different. As far as the locker i was just going to this locker

Use that Detroit and 29 spline axles and you will be fine.

Bearings and seals are the same.

Good info, just picked up a 27 spline for $75 and was wondering the same thing.

You can pinch shafts and carrier from KJs if you really want to lol. Get some disc brakes while you're at it
