Rear Lock-Right & Carrier Question

Rear Lock-Right & Carrier Question
Been searching at length for an answer to this but to no avail.
I bought a used Lock-Right locker that is still installed in the carrier. Can I keep it in there and simply swap the ring gear or should I swap it over to the carrier in my 4Runner? Does vehicle specific wear-and-tear come into play here?

As long as the Carriers are the same you can swap the ring gear over. Like if the lock right carrier is a 4cyl carrier and your 4runner is a 4cyl carrier you should be good. If not you'll have to do some converting

If your original open diff is in good shape, you should just swap the lock-Right into your existing carrier.
If you swap your ring gear onto the carrier that the locker is presently installed in, there could potentially be gear set-up problems that could require re-shimming or other adjustments/parts.
