Well I did a little looking on the web and it seems they are 8.8 and 31 spline but I would defenitely check that housing width and bolt pattern on the axlesmay also be an issue hope that helps.

Yes, they'll fit as long as it came out of an 8.8. Now the axels my not be the right length, but the carrier will bolt up in your rear end. And you have a trac loc rear, but its fugged up or something.
