Derrick,
I went on this same  journey several years ago. There may be some =
original clutch type diffs out there as there are some rebuilders but, I =
couldn=E2=80=99t find one. I looked very hard to find one that had the =
original spline count. Auburn Gear had one but, after two sets that =
didn=E2=80=99t fit properly I went with the Eaton Detroit TrueTrack. I =
had to change axles to 28 spline and the pinion as well. The issue that =
I had was that the Eaton diff is open in the center and required me to =
fabricate a thrust block. I am really happy with it and I have the Eaton =
in another vehicle with a Ford 9=E2=80=9D which I am also happy with. It =
works like a charm with no noise and no issues with 'locking up'. It =
locks up on hard throttle and firmly plants Both rear wheels. Ther are =
other options. Just check out the Jeep websites. It=E2=80=99s a Dana 44. =
Don=E2=80=99t let the =E2=80=99Salisbury=E2=80=99 designation get in =
your way. At any rate you will at least, IMO, require an axle upgrade. =
I=E2=80=99d be happy to discuss if you=E2=80=99d like.
Best of luck!
