Red face swapping my open diff- axle for one with the limited slip

hey guys its me again askin my same old questions about limited slip , ok so i have (specifically from you guys) that my best route to go would be to just completely swap out my open diff axles for one that already has the L/s.

well i have 4.0L V6 so i'm pretty sure that means my axle size is 8.8 but when it comes to the spline i'm not sure what size they are.

anyway my question to you guys is, how difficult of a task this would be and if i would need to change my gear ratio? sorry about my lame and repetitive questions and had some more new questions to ask but i forgot them mid typing.

Default Re: swapping my open diff- axle for one with the limited slip

28 spline. The swap is pretty straight forward. Should only take a couple hours working at a slow pace. You can find them with 4.10s so unless your running bigger than 33s you shouldn't have to regear.
