02 rear diff in 07?

[derrick tarrance]

Just as the title says, is this possible? I am wondering if an 02 rear diff bolt into a 07. I have both year models. My 02 has 3.73 and my 07 has 3.08 i believe. I know its a highway road gear. I want to swap the 02 rear axle into the 07. Im planning on trading the 02 in on a 14+ year model and keep the 07. Let me know what your thoughts are. TIA

different mountings. Easier to just regear to the 3.73 if 2wd.

I'm guessing they are both only 2wd, not 4wd?

I didn't know that the mounting points were different but do know that the track on the older one is narrower by one inch.
