Have been searching but not knowing much about diffs i thought i would just ask before i start pulling shit apart.
i have decided to lock the front on mine and weld my rear again as i liked how it went in my last sierra.
what is needed to put my spartan in the front diff?
thanks in advance
Ricky.

if you want to do it really properly, convert the front to take 26 spline (rear) axles and beef up the CVs at the same time.

That will do the trick.
I am not sure if the Spartans come with couplers or not. If the spartan uses couplers instead of size gears, get a rear spartan, and those axle will drop right in.

i cant remember if you can use fatory rear side gears or not, i think it was discussed in the chinasong locker thread, if my memory serves me well.
the arb gears are quite expensive.
changing the side gears you will have to run cromos, which is what i think your getting at?
