Front Differential Swap
I need some help. I have swapped both my front and rear gears to Factory 4:88's. The front seems to be giving me some problems. I have swapped over my old axle tube and axle shaft from my 4:10 carrier (Non-ADD) to the 4:88 (ADD) carrier. I am wondering is this ok to do or am I gonna have problems with the Driver Side seal not sealing? I am all confused because the seal is in 2 different places on the drivers side for ADD and Non ADD. Can I just buy new seals and put them in without using the ADD equipment? Thanks in advance!

I am confused myself....all you have to do is switch the jack shafts from one to the other. Same end seals.

Sorry for the confusion. I have already pulled the front diff twice now so im a little flustered. The axle shaft seal on the driver side keeps leaking. I am just wondering are the differentials exactly the same just different axle tubes? The seal that keeps leaking is the one on the drivers side. This is the side that I swapped the axle tubes is this ok?

The front diff center section is the exact same, once you remove the ADD stub axle, and drive gear stub.
