yes, unless your axle has been swapped, you have the chrsyler 9.25, with 31 splines. you can double check the shape on the link above. the 9.25 has a distinctive octagon shape and you can count the bolts in the cover.

the 2 items you have listed are some of the parts you will need.
you also need the master install kit http://www.accuautoparts.com/axledet...d=ACC:R925RMKT
and the gear oil (about 2.5 qts)
and the LSD additive http://www.accuautoparts.com/axledet..._id=ACC:MGPLSF

who is going to do your install ? before buying you might want to check with the installer, they MIGHT be able to buy the parts cheaper than you can, and save you some money.

caution - a ring and pinon setup is not a DIY job !

I have a mechanic shop that they said they dont do it they just take the rearend out and send it to an Original Dodge Factory to assure to get the spacing andd backlash and yadda yadda perfect. so im not worried about that but thnx for the warning!!!

I'd stay away from that Dodge trash lock lsd. I mean true lock. Seems like the clips always break off on them. I need to replace the LSD in mine but am thinking of going with an Auburn as I don't want that clip breaking off again and from the research I've done so far it seems like it will happen again as it seems like it's a common problem with them.


Will I need the master install kit when I go with a new LSD or is that for the gears?

Anyone ordered from that site? Is it a good site to deal with? Where is a good place to get the Auburn LSD?
