I "transplant" my 4 doors rear diff to my 2 doors trackers and this is why:

4 doors rear diff = 12 bolts, 2 doors rear diff = 10 bolts

And the 4 doors housing have bigger drum breaks.

I believe that the (94-97) Kicks are also 12 bolt. But have the smaller drums.

12 bolts holding the ring gear on the carrier vs. 10 bolts. Housings are the same...
