The open diff pinion is shorter, there is NO WAY it works in a J30 case.

Did you just swap the ring gear (the big one) and the open "center" into a J30 case? (and use the open diff output shafts)??

If so, that will eat itself alive within a few miles...the ring and pinion are a set, and wear together.
