I've heard it was easier/cheaper to install a front diff with 4.10s rather than regear the axle currently in the Libby because you have to pull the whole axle out either way. So I found a wrecked Libby with 4.10s and sure enough the price of the front axle is cheaper than new gears and install kit. I was wondering, should I grab the rear axle as well and swap it too or just regear the rear to match the front? |

If both are good low mileage you could since we have no information on yours kind of hard to see what year you have / if ABS etc what year the donor is |

Mine and the donor are both 05 models, donor has around 260k miles which is slightly more than double my mileage. Body has no damage so I think the engine blew on it. I don't have abs but I'm not sure about donor. |

260,000 ? I'd be checking them real good at the very least all new bearings etc. I'd hope they are super cheap with that many miles |

Lulz, I made a mistake. I'm near the Canadian border so its was 267k kilometers not miles. So its really about 166k miles, 46k more than I currently have. |
