Just a thought,

The differential, case/outputs aside, is most likely the "universal" component between the model range changes/options. I can see the need for different diameter cases, input/output diameters etc. but a need for an entirely different sized/spec'd LSD unit? That's next level stupidity from a production perspective..

Has anyone thought of this idea?:

- Buy the unit, regardless of the case dimensions and part #
- Have it opened up, remove the LSD and have the final drive gear removed (may req. machine shop)
- Remove factory open diff from said vehicle, open it up, tear down the same as above.
- Re-install new LSD w/ factory final drive pressed on, bearings, input/output cups etc all re-used

- #DRIFTLIFE?
