Anyone ever swapped out an open rear for a traction lock?

My '01 4x4 has an open 3.31, which is a weird combination to me btw, and I've been looking on craigslist etc. for parted out expeditions with H5, H7 and H9 (all limited slip codes) 9.75" rearends. To keep my costs down, I'm going to keep my 3.31 in the front and just swap any guts to my existing rear gear set.

Have any of you done this swap yourselves or had it done? I'm assuming any 9.75 differential with a traction loc / traction lok / limited slip would be a direct bolt in, but I'm not sure. Are all of them 34 splines? And do you guys know if entire axle housings from F150 pickups of certain years would be a direct bolt in?

Thanks!
