14bff; Detroit Locker Interchangeable no matter gear ratio?

[Kay86K5]

Did a little research, but don't have much time cause at work, but wondering if the Detroit locker is interchangeable no matter what gear ratio is in a 14bff? I know the carriers are different (4.10 and down vs. 4.56 and up). But if you have a Detroit locker current in a 4.56 carrier, will that Detroit fit right into a 4.10 carrier?

Yep, I just answered my own question

In the description it says fits all ratios. This should be good cause my current 89 Crew Cab has 4.10 gears and my crawler I have 4.56 gears (with a Detroit in the rear). I want to swap the 4.56's into my crew cab, take the Detroit out and put into the 4.10 carrier, and then order 5.38's for my crawler....that way I get the lower gears I want in my crawler, and a little lower gears in my tow rig to run the tire size I want on that thing....and all I have to do is purchase 5.38 gears

From my reading, as long as you have the 4.10 and down carrier you can run the thick 5.38's correct?

Edit: Ah, I see what you did there, haha
