A better chance for 5.29's for the 9.5" diff is bolting a 5.29 9" ring gear to the 9.5" centre.
The two ring gears are exactly the same ID and OD the only difference is the mounting bolts (9.5" are thicker)

That sorta doesn't make sense. How can they be same yet be refered as 9" and 9.5"? I've taken apart both. Unfortunately didn't put them side by side but out of curiosity I did measure OD of bigger one and it it was indeed 9.5" <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
