Will the front diff from a 01 Silverado bolt onto my 95 Z71?

I have a complete 01 donor and I've thought about swapping out the 95's 3.73 for 4.10s that are in my 01 if they'll bolt it with limited modification.

I recently bought the DJM 4/6 lowering kit with the rear axle flip kit, since I am going to be welding the new axle perchs on anyways I thought I might hopefully find a stronger axle option with a limited slip an disc brakes? Would love some suggestions

9.5" 14 bolt out of a 2wd.
Swap in the 5 lug shafts from a 454 SS.
Stock 14 bolt brake brackets from Ruffstuff. 14 bolt full float brake brackets K20 (mid 80's) front calipers and then the challenge would be finding slip over rotors in a 5x5 bolt pattern.

6 lug would be MUCH easier you can run a 6 lug 9.5 out of a 2wd and 99+ 1500 rear brakes

I am pretty sure that is a no. Mounts and cv flanges are different I believe

Wanting to change the differential fluid in my 1992, 1500, GU6. Does this axle need an additive, or just fluid?

Thanks

Looking to eventually rebuild the rear end on 94 c1500. I want to know the best way to upgrade it without changing to the 6 lug, one of my favorite things abt my truck are my 5 lug rims. Truck is lifted and running 33s and will see some hauling, firewood, gravel etc. Not sure what gears are in it currently. I've always heard great things abt yukon gears
