new used front end

I have the origional "I" beam front diff ( 3.54 E8TA-Z-610312-1 ) and want to put the solid front axle in. (4.10 E8TA-XB 610313-2 ) Do I have to change the transfer case? Will the gears match? Is there a chance damage will ocure?

generally speaking they will interchange... no t-case swapping is necessary either way.

you need to fill out your sig or at least shed some light on what kind of truck you are working on

do a search this topic has been beat to death!

Check out Ibleedblue's writeup for SAS (solid axle swap). Great pics and informative write up.

Vehicle specs are a must when posting here.

and no, the gears don't match. your ttb setup is a 3.54 and the solid 44 is a 4.10, so you would have to regear, so might as well step the rear up to a 4.10 at least.

SAS is a little too hardcore for your average mall crawlers. This type of fab is usually reserved for 1- rich "highskool" kids who want to show off in front of their friends (who by the way have no idea what SAS stands for) or B- real offroad trucks

Andrew,
he could always run 35s in the front and 31s in the back to keep the transfer case from exploding.
