We recommend direct replacement parts because when you change things, something else always seems to go bad. I don't under stand why they would be a different length if they are the same year. My biggest concern is the will the transfer case align with the mounts if the trans is different in length. Can you switch tail housings? Other than overall length, do the trans look the same?

Let me know.
