The subject should read 4.63 gear into a Gen 2.5, but it won't let me change it now.
I'm sharing this post from the wire where I posted it earlier.
I swapped a 1996 SR pumpkin with the locker and 4.63 gears into my GrassCat (1998) with no problems. Easy bolt up. The Cat had a locker to begin with.
Carlos (cap510) help me swap out the front end with little problems, but we did discover some difference in the two.
The Gen 2.5 axles are a bit smaller in diameter and the flange on the passenger side will not bolt up to the Gen 2 shaft coming out of the front pumpkin.
The fix was to use my Gen 2.5 shaft. They are the same except the bolt pattern.
While we were at it we serviced the CV joints installed new boots, installed new tie-rod ends, new upper and lower ball joints, new brake pads and called it a day as I was dragging my butt around by a string.
Thanks a bunch Carlos.
