[RICK LAKE]

Scufty I swapped a dana 44 locker into my Jag center section. The back spacing is different on some of the ratios. From info I got, there are 2 Jag cases, 1 takes gears to 4.09 and other higher. There are 4 carriers with different back spacings for the gears. I had to drill out the holes in my carrier to fit the 3.31 ringgear on my locker. They where Jag gears. The rest I had no problem. There is a guy sell 2 rearends on here, what's he asking? It might be cheaper that trying to fix the rearend. I would keep that one for a spare. I would trust it for any hard driving since you don't know how or why the gear tooth was broken. If you couldn't find the tooth in the case, the guy before you knew there was a problem. In time that broken tooth will wear and tear up the gears and bearings. I did install a 30 spline locker and remove the 27 spline one. You may not have a problem, I am not 100% sure only 72%. You will need a case spreader for doing the carrier work or risk too much carrier load on the bearings.
