diff carrier question

Will a Dana 35 pre '97 carrier (LSD) interchange with a Post '97 carrier (open diff)

Basically what I have is a 1998 Cherokee 4ltr with an open diff which as an Aussie locker fitted and I am changing the axles for deisel ones with lower ratios but I cant interchange the Aussie from one to another so what I want to do is hopefully just change the carrier, obviously swapping the crown wheel from one to the other also

Hope this makes sense

94 to 01 interchange. The difference in d35 carriers is c-clip/non c-clip. You need a 94 & later to work in your 98.

that will be good then cos its from a '95

why can't you put the aussie in? something about the axle itself or something? because the aussie can go in any ratio, doesn't matter if the carrier is for 3.07s or 4.88s, AFAIK. This is true at least for a 44, maybe there's something different about the 35s?

the carrier on a pre '97 is a closed diff which has an lsd, the post '97 has no lsd therefore the diff is an open case, basically the carrier itself is different
