You should have a 8.25" rear and the R/T's have a 9.25" rear, so you would have to switch the entire axle and everything, not sure how easy it would be.

I was wondering this as well. I think the axle lengths are different but cant you make them longer or shorter? Probably have to do some work to the drive shaft.

Just mesure the width and pad locations to see
if it will bolt in.

you may need the R/T's drive shaft the splines
should be the same but most 9.25's have the bigger
