With the powertrax lockers, all that matters is what axle you have (you should have the chrysler 8.25 unless it's been changed) since all it replaces is the spider gears.

+1.

Here is a good site for rear axle info on the 8.25"
http://www.differentials.com/pdfs/5.pdf

And here is several pages on all axles:

I'm running single 3" with a 3" cat, no headers yet but I did just get a pair from the junkyard. Some autoparts stores can get ATs but your best bet is online.

I just got done putting and Eaton Detroit locker in my '93. It takes a little getting used to after a LSD, but overall really happy with the results. I would not do it myself again it took me a couple of hours getting the backlash right. Man its been almost a month since I have done it still running strong.
