Re: 12 bolt swap?

Is it a 12 bolt designed to fit under a third gen or "just a 12 bolt". If it's not designed to fit under a third gen, there's no way to attach the torque arm. Your only other option is to completely change the rear suspension to something that doesn't use a torque arm such as ladder bars or a 4-link.

Free isn't really free if there's no way you can easily use it. You can always sell it to buy a direct fit diff.
