Justice , let me try to clarify,,,, What I'm trying to say, if he gets a 92-93 axle 'not' to get a locker from those years cause it will not match his front diff ratio. Make sure it's from an LS with 4.63 and make sure it has the LSD.
If he wants a locker, yes, that 96 axle is the way to go.
( although I thought all the 3.5 dohc SR axles were the 9 1/2" 94-96,,,? what's the differences in those years?).
