Well, now I'm not so sure - it looks like a high pinion might work...
Anyone know for sure (besides me) - :laugh:
OK - From what I have researched, they will swap except for the gears.

One thing I probably should add.
Don't forget to make sure the carrier you try and swap to comes from the same gear range.
There are two carriers for Dana 30 's. One for gears 3.55 and down, and one for 3.73 and up. You cannot interchange those carriers.
So, did you loose a carrier? Find and axle?
Inquiring minds want to know...

My 85 CJ has 2.73 ratio and I saw the 3.55's on ebay and thought I'd check.Thanks

CJ is right you can't interchange gears from HP to LP.

something to do with reverse rotation if I'm not mistaken.
