You wont find limited slip, only e-lock. You also wont know what condition it is in and may wind up paying much more when the bearings have to be replaced. Going Tru-Trak with new gears is a better option, just remember if 4WD the front also have to be swapped.

Well I found a complete rear end for a 2005 that's 3.73 and limited slip for $200. Even if I have to replace clutches and bearings, I'm still half what it would cost to re-gear and install tru trac in my open diff. Some people like spending money. Some like saving. I just spent many dollars in upgrades and have more to go. Trying to save $500 is a big deal to me right now, that enough to finish my nitrous set up.

So, will a 2005 9.75 rear axle swap over? Mostly worried about brakes. And drive shaft flange differences.
