Hey guys, I wanted to see if any of you can help me figure out if the LSD in 22 Timberline is a direct swap with 23 XLT4WD. any help would be greatly appreciated!
 






Your XLT has a 8.1-in. Differential, the Timberline have an 8.8-in rear differential, they both however use the same 3.58 final drive ratio I believe. It would be more work and money to make the 8.8-in Timberline diff bolt up to your XLT. Plus, they are expensive and hard to find.

Thanks for the reply. There's one available on eBay right now that I was considering if it was fairly simple to swap. Has anyone else found alternatives? I love that feature on the Timberline.
