So it has a like 1" lip on the bottom, seems like cutting that off and plating it would be a win?I smoothed the bottom of mine, that's about it.

I came across this today:the pinion on the 11+ 10.50 is different then the older trucks and thats why you cant get 5.13-5.38 gears. as shown above its very easy and common you take the locker out and run in an older housing. know i guy running one in his Toy based buggy with 39-46 tall tires and zero issues with the locker in the last year, and he runs it hard
yes the pinion and housing changed in 2011+. carrier is the same from 1984-current so can swap the elocker in. when doing aftermarket gears in a 10.50 (99-2010) housing you use 10.25 bearing setSo that info is correct. The challenge is 2011+ housings have a bigger pinion than the older 10.5 or even 10.25
if you already have the 11+ diff and want to use the elocker and want 5.13/5.38 gears then you need to take the locker out and install in a 1984-2010 housing. problem solved^^^still doesn’t solve my problem 🤣
I know. For $400-500 I can get another housing and spend a few hours stripping it. It would give me spare shafts, hubs, spindles etc.if you already have the 11+ diff and want to use the elocker and want 5.13/5.38 gears then you need to take the locker out and install in a 1984-2010 housing. problem solved
I don’t think there’s a measurable difference in strength between the two. Seems like the pinion is pretty much the same size either waySooo if I were to go 05-10 housing...That opens up 5.13 and 5.38. When paired with a Dana 60(05+) what is a good pick between the 2? id assume 5.13 is stronger but pure physics
