Well the 2002-2005 have a 31 spline 8.8 IRS in the back. In front it's a dana super 30. Maybe you can call the company that makes the Ox locker and ask them if it will work with those.
We know that an Aussie lunchbox locker will work for sure in the rear with modification. And we are about to find out about the ARB for the rear also. It would be cool to know about the Ox...so let us know if you fund out.
I wouldn't assume the 8.8 would work. I would call them and ask...or if you do buy it check to see if your axleshafts fit into it and be prepared to return it if they don't. Although the IRS 8.8 and straight axle 8.8 share a lot of parts there are some differences. The axle shafts themselves, for example. Not only do the IRS axles not taper where they go into the differential but they are not held in with C-clips like the straight axle version.
