26 spline to 28 spline axles
I have a 10 bolt rear disk, non-posi with 3.23 gears and 26 spline from an 85 iroc. I am going to be putting a posi in it but was wondering what I needed to do to change over to a 28 spline setup. I know I can find 28 spline axles from a newer iroc and also a diff. from a posi car. But is there anything else that would have to be changed, such as bearings to compensate for a bigger axle? I was going to put a a 9 bolt rear but I am having doubts, due to the fact that they are rare and expensive to fix if it were to break down. And I also heard that ring and pinions aren't exactly cheap to do on those 9 bolts? If anyone can give there advice, its appreciated. Thanks

To convert a 82-89 26 spline 10 bolt diff to 28 spline you need a 28 spline carrier (posi) and 28 spline axles from a 90-92 third gen or aftermarket 28 spline axles.
