If you're this damn sure of yourself then why are you even asking for advice?

The 11.5 got either an open diff or a big gov-loc.
That’s what I’m questioning. I’ve seen that info too, but I’ve also seen people saying that they only had the locker or posi or whatever. And I’ve never personally seen an 11.5 only spinning one wheel, so...? If someone doesn’t chime in that they have or had an 11.5 one legger, I’ll have to assume that they all spin both
I’m asking for input from people that have experience with the 11.5 as far as whether or not it always had a locker of some sort. Or posi, or whatever you wanna call it. I was getting frustrated with you because you continued to grill me about **** that I had already mentioned the very first post. Like questioning why I’d want an 11.5, stating it’d be expensive to have new perches put on it, and about how much I could find one for. I clarified all of that in the original post. Frankly, it was pointless and a waste of both of our time for you to make those posts. Especially considering I didn’t ask for opinions on the idea of an 11.5 swap. I asked which one people thought was the better idea, given the price of the 11.5 from my junkyard versus a diff for my 14bff. If the 11.5 was only posi then obviously it’s a better option, if it wasn’t, it might not be simply for availability of a posi version.

I skipped your 2nd paragraph. Also was reading today on these diffs and seriously question if the 11.5 really is the better diff with the lack of pinion support that the 10.5 has. To determine if it's worth the trouble to stick an 11.5 in I'd first need to see what the common failure modes are between the 2. That's a $1,000 axle in this neck of the woods. One site I was on stated a Max GVW of 8600 for the corporate 10.5 and 6900 for the AAM 11.5. I kinda wonder how accurate that is.
