c8.25 axle shaft help
Ok i've got a problem here.. I ordered an aussie lunch box locker a few months ago and just got around to putting it in last night. While I was about to put the locker in I noticed everything just wasn't matching up (namely the fact that I couldn't fit the whole locker in the carrier and the axle shafts could float around inside the locker. Now Originally I thought I had the 29 spline.. me and a friend pulled and counted my axle shaft splines. Well I'm guessing this means we're wrong because me and two other people counted the shafts again and got 27 this time and the locker counted to be 29.
Now is the carrier on the 29 spline that much bigger? Or is it possible that I do not have a c8.25 locker sitting in my garage
I guess my question is should I just try and see if the dealer I bought the locker from will swap it, or get a new carrier and shafts?

Oh and I forgot to specify that Aussie does not make a locker for 27 spline 8.25 and you could just buy a Spartan locker for about $360-$380 for 27 spline but if you do that you'll end up with an inferior axle and locker. Spartan won't back up their product if you run bigger tires then 32 inches. To clarify what I posted previously, their are major differences between the 27 and 29 c 8.25 carriers so you probably do have the right locker, just wrong axle! So if you get a good 29 spline axle and keep the Aussie I think you'll be very happy with that decision.
