Rear end question

[Otnielarencibia]

Could you use a rc rear end on a qc?

Sure, someone will correct me if Im wrong but I understand they are the same other than the differential cover.

Are there any differences in the notches for the leaf springs since one sits on the diff and the others are below?

have to swap the spring saddles around

Is that easy? I'm just asking because I would prefer a qc rear end with the 4.56 but I can get a fairly cheap rc rear end with 4.10....

you will have to swap yoke for drive shaft u joint ,the qc ujoint is bigger than an rc

They are different as to how they are mounted from the spring perches! Diffy covers ARE the same!

Leaf packs are actually bigger on the RC believe it or not. 2 Extra leaves I believe.

Thank you. So maybe I should stick to the quad cab rear end. I would think I would be able to use my eibach lowering leaf springs
