I'm sorry to say, for now, you're screwed. You might want to seriously think of going steel and a modified sammy carrier from Hawk, and then go locked. just a thought.
One last thought, you have a 97, right? That means you have a 26 spline front diff. Go through Hawk, and get a modified sammy carrier (rear 26 spline) with a lock-rite installed in it, if you have the money to spend(hope you do), get the GV dropout with the XL-7 housing (all steel) and zuk happily ever after! hehe!
