    Hey guys. I'm going to be ordering Nitro 5.29s for my 16 limited and so I don't screw this up the first time I'd like to find out if there are different rear ends for the limited model and if not which one I probably have.

    You should be good if you get the 3rd gen limited edition. its a difference of axles but I don't think within the gen/trim they changed. I was looking at the same exact idea for my 17 Pro but the axle is an 8.75 as opposed to 8.0 (I think im getting that right)

    The kit I was looking at said
    *Does Not Fit Trucks With Manual Trans Or Rear OEM Diff Lock.
    *Does Not Fit TRD Offroad Or TRD Pro
    Just making sure it will fit mine.

    ok yeah so OR/PRO have that longer axle and limited has no diff locker/MT, so should be good right? Are you doing the gear swap yourself

    If it's not a manual and it doesn't have a locker than its an 8" rear diff. Only the Manuals/Off-Roads/Pros have a 8.75" rear. I'd still call whoever you are getting it from and double check to make sure it's the right one
