Trac lok into a dana 35?

[deemac]

Hey guys, i put a dana 35ttb front axle in my ranger. I was reading somewhere that a jeep rear dana 35 carrier will fit into my front carrier. If that is the case, can i get a trac lok out of a jeep dana 35 and put it in my front axle? I am thinking that i might do this because the dana 28 i took out had trac lok and it performed as good as i want it to...also i think i could probably do it cheaper than a locker. Do you guys know what years jeep dana 35 trac lok will fit? Is there anywhere else i can get a trac lok for this axle? Any other options? Thanks for any help.

This sounds interesting.

You can put the Trac-Lock in your D35 no problem. Any year D35 carrier should fit, although I couldn't tell you if some years are better than others as far as it's performance goes. Just make sure the Jeep axle you get it from has 3.55 or deeper gears (numerically higher), otherwise it won't fit your Ford axle (regardless of ratio in the Ford axle).

Check the tag on the axle.

If the tag is missing, then you'll have to count gear teeth or how many times the pinion turns vs ring gear (wheel) rotations.

The ring and pinion gears I have seen all had the ratio stamped into the side of the ring gear.
