I have a SWB TB with 3.42 gears currently. I want to upgrade to 4.10 gears by swapping out my current differentials rather than buying new gears and having them rebuilt since it seems to be the cheaper option.
So my question(s) is, if i were to replace my rear differential with a 4.10 LWB 8.6" axle, would I also have to change my carrier to match? And if so, would the new carrier have to be from a LWB TB model or could I use a carrier from a SWB TB?
Would my front differential have to work the same way? Coming off of a LWB TB?
The only reason i want the 8.6" over the 8.0" is so I will still have some wiggle room in the future should I choose to go with 4.56 gears.
