I would be very surprised if someone can help you with C200 R&P swaps into R200 housing. I personally do not know of anyone who is well versed on this topic. Even truck guys don't know from what I've seen.

What diff housing do you have? Stock for the 93? If so it's a short nose diff housing. You won't be able to swap in some of the lower r&p. They're just too big.

Does your diff use 12 or 13mm ring bolts? Some rings use 12mm, like the stock 4.083, while most others use 13mm. You'll have to bore out your lsd to accept 13mm, and if you want to go back to 12mm you'll have to use adaptor spacers or retap your stock ring gear to 13mm.

Are you good with rebuilding diffs? It takes a long time to swap out r&p. You basically have to do a complete teardown to get to the r&p.

It may be faster to prepare a bunch of diff housings and then swap out the housing as a whole.


The best I can do to help you is tell you that you can go to 3.9 to about 3.5 relatively easily with R200 r&p. The next jump is 3.0133. If you want to go up you can go to 4.4 or even 4.6.

Anything else will require more research.


Good luck.
