Spider Gears
I'm looking for someone knowledgeable with the Ford 9" Carrier? My spider gears are severely worn. Surprisingly, to me, they are hard to come by. Autozone don't even list them. I can only get them from Advance Auto, by mail only. And there is only 1 listing on Ebay. Anyway, I found a used set on Ebay from a guy in Allentown, PA., who sells a lot of used Ford drivetrain parts. Mine is a standard open 2 pinion, his is a standard open 4 pinion. Both are 31 spline. He said the extra gears, and extra pins, make it stronger and it keels your gears from walking in side the carrier. He also said that I can take the new ring and pinion gear, and the new bearing set, that I just had installed on my carrier last month, back off of my 2 pinion carrier and install them on his 4 pinion carrier. Is this true? And in someones opinion, will there be any difference in fuel mileage?

28 or 31 spline axleshafts have nothing to do with spider gears (4215), only the differential gears (4236) are specific to one or the other.

I have found, have specified 28 or 31 spline, because they also come with new differential gears. My carrier, as I mentioned earlier, is a 2 pinion. I purchased a 4 pinion, used, because I was told that it was a tighter, stronger system, that keeled the gears from walking, inside the carrier. I wasn't questioning the 28 or 31 spline, I was questioning whether my new ring gear on my 2 pinion carrier, would fit on the used 4 pinion carrier, that I ordered?

You can cut down the long bed outers to fit the short bed and there have been some threads here devoted to doing that.
On the aftermarket panels, I've heard mixed reviews on the quality, fit and finish of them. LMC's panels are usually on the poor fit and finish side.
