RE: Gear Ratio's and axel serial numbers
How are you getting prices from, don't forget the HD axles for the rear diff, Detroits, and I have one, love to eat up standard axles. Are you going to gears also?
Bill at Great Basins Rovers is the main didtributor of gears, True Trac's and axles for Rovers in the US and is the only place you should be looking.
Do you have anyone to set up the diffs when you install them, if not talk to him about buying 3rd. members already set up with a Detroit and a True Trac, may find this cheaper the paying a shop $300 plus per axle to do the work.

All of the axels do have a number stamped on the housing and its not a VIN # , all are located on the tube and usually cant be read without scraping or sanding , even the dealer cant order diffs without that onfo. most numbers are located on the diff side shorter tube.

All axles and diff parts can be ordered without any number, the only thing that should be verified is the spline count on the axles, past the the diff, ring and pinion are all the same.
In all the years I was a service managre with Rover we nevere verified and numbers on either the tube or axle.
