Is it a coily? if not and its definitely a sierra I believe it should be the same... a picture talks a thousand words

As twiss said, as long as it's leaf sprung then it will be the same rear axle.
If its a coily then I think pertty much only the wheel bearings and diff carrier fit? I could be wrong though as I know they can be a nightmare to find parts for even in Australia.

one thing to check just to make sure it the wheel bearing on the old shaft (if you have it out)
on a samurai the bearing inner race is wider than the outer race... either that or they come with a little spacer
this is due to the samurai axles being slightly wider than the SJ413 ones. Always a good thing to check when buying new bearings as Ive been sent ones without a spacer before!

(got you again 
) it's just part of the design, all SJs use the same set up. 410s, 413s and samurais. You either have a bearing with a built in spacer or run a normal bearing with the seperate 4mm spacer, the reason most aftermarket kits use the separate spacer is because normal bearings are cheaper.

Damnit 
They must have just had a spastic moment when they packaged up my wheel bearings then!
So if it's not got a seperate or built in spacer, don't open it... send it back!

Some kits just don't include them, I have loads of spare spacers if anyone needs them though.
