You can only use 31 spline axles if you ALREADY have them lol. You cannot put 31 spline axle shafts in a 28 spline axle housing. The 31 spline axles have bigger bearings and the axle tubes and center housing are actually different.
I changed my 28 spline out for a 31 spline from and FX4 (the entire axle) and it's a very good mod. But if you need more strength, you can also get specially made 28 spline axle shafts that will fit your housing that are stronger.

I dont recommend getting the Powertrax Lock-Right. I had one in my rear end for about 8 months, The teeth on the couplers and drivers wore themselves down, and it would constantly slip/grind and jerk the whole truck in all driving conditions. It almost ruined my whole rear end.
Now you guys have heard something bad about powertrax!!!
...but while it was working I loved it, so much traction!

In powertraxx's defense you have a Ford 7.5 rear end. that might be a little bit different than an 8.8 unit.

Which is what I've been saying all along, lol. If you ask a question, read and think about all the posts!
Look at your axle tag to be sure. It should be under one of the bolts that holds on the rear cover.
Here's a link to a "decoder" for the information on your axle tag.

Keep in mind you've had a gear change, but the other information is useful.
If your axle tube is 3.25" diameter, it's a 31 spline. The 28 spline is smaller than that.
