I assume your talking about the diff gears.  Yes but only 2 front ring and pinion from a tracker/sidekick will bolt into the samurai.  May I add its a very good mod for sammy I have done it on my 87 I sold off.

yep, 1995 or older for the front splines to match(22) and say 1996 and newer for the rear splines to match(26)drill the flang holes on the rear four times (could be smaller or larger pattern needed) and there ya go.

What are the benefits? Are they beefier or/and is it a different ratio than the sami's? Really curious!

I hope I didn't screw up, I haven't been able to access this site for two days now so I went ahead and bid on these. They are 4.62 ring & pinion gears from a sidekick/tracker front.

I also read somewhere that I will need spacers for the ring gear?? ???

The bolts are for your drive shaft to bolt up, the stock tracker fronts have aluminum housings that are weaker but you can put the gears in the sammie's housings, sammie=3.73 gears tracker 4.3 to 5.83 ratio  I have 4.3 for one and 4.88's for another and a set of 5.12's for just incase  ;D
