i have heard the JK gears fit if you drill the carier out, only thing i have found is for fitting them to the ZJ tho

I am not using the CRD stuff at all. I am using material I had from my V8 Donor. However the V8 I just send to the junkyard had the ARB front locker had already 4.56 gears on it and I know that the back from the same car had it too (that's where I am getting the 19mm bolts from). I am almost certain the previous owner faced a similar situation and had to install the JK ring and pinon as well and if all goes wrong I am using this carrier instead. Just need to exchange the spider gears since they look a bit bald. I even recall that he mentioned that a lot of the stuff was taken from JK material since it is mostly interchangeable.
