Swapping carriers back and forth

Ive got a 95 yj (also have a xj, dont flog me) with a dana 30 disco front axle. It currently has an open carrier with 4.10's. I would like to be able to put in my other welded carrier and just swap the ring gear back and forth when i go between the open carrier and welded one. Is there a problem with this if i get them both set up for my axle? I would be putting in the cable engage/ disengage system for the disco at the same time (permanent).

Thanks
 
aren't ring and pinions matched to each other?

you would need to keep track of the spacers on each side for the preload.

all that aside, just put in a lunchbox locker, or LSD
 
Why not just buy a Rubicon? money...

the install kit is 45 bucks and this way i have a selectable locker for mud. Then when im doing a lot of street driving i can switch back to the open carrier so my front driveshaft isn't vibrating to death. I guess the question is can i get both carriers set up close enough to the same that the r and p wont prematurely wear out?
