Cool Explorer differentials

I found me a set of axles off a 94 4x4 explorer to swap into my 85 BII. The axle code is D4 which I believe is a 3.73 with limited slip. Does anyone know if the drive shafts will bolt up? Also I am planning to use a lock right eventually in the rear will the limited slip in the differential cause problems or will I need to buy some additional items.

The limited slip carrier isn't as strong as an open carrier. As long as the lock right is available for the LS carrier (It's not the same as the locker for the open carrier), thought, it should work fine.
I'm not certain how well the driveshafts will bolt up. I know the front driveshaft will need to be shortened a little in order to fit.
