We were saying the 33 spline kit requires the eliminator kit. 31 spline is just bolt in.

You got it, basically all you really need to convert is the axles, carrier, and install kit.

When I did mine I also did wheel bearings, wheel seals, and upper control arm bushings.

Reason being? I wish my studs were a slight bit shorter. My lugs run all the way down and the cap of the lugs got damaged. Time to buy new ones and take a few threads off of the studs.

Unless your studs aren't long enough to get the lug threaded fully on it's making no difference. I doub't they are going to sell studs that short.

Yep, my bad.
Think they have a 31 spline in the non-SFI type that just a replacement axle.
The ones I got are for my spool and do need the 'C' clip eliminator kit.........
