Well, here's the fruits of my latest eBay find: Item number: 8002888715

It's for a Dana 27, it has 10 splines, it's for the correct gear range (3.92 and up numerically) for my 4.10 gears. I guess if for some reason it doesn't fit I can probably get most of my money (less shipping) back selling it to Jeep folks.

With the added HP and the rear sway bar it's hard to put power down around a corner with the standard diff in there now.

Anybody have any tales of success doing dufferential swaps yourself? Or is this really something best left to professionals? I don't get a warm and fuzzy feeling reading about shimming, case spreading, gear clearances, etc. At least in terms of my doing it myself and ending up with anything other than a howling set of gears eating themselves.
