i have a question since the topic popped up.

If im just putting in a locker in my open diff and not changing gears cant i just pull the old unit out and put the new one in using all the old shims and ring gear. i have new bolts and bearings. i assume i wouldnt have to adjust anything since im not pulling the pinion out.

IF you get lucky and everything still mesh's good, then yes. But I recommend, ALWAYS paint the gears to check the mesh.
