Hey grub,
I just did that conversion and what they dont tell you is you wont have enough diff balls (going from six to twelve) or axel bearings. If i remember my l3 came with three in the axel and now you will need five. I may be wrong but I know you will need extra bearings.
And yes you will see the balls on the large ring as opposed to the small. I thought I had done something wrong because the rings only appeared to be supporting half the bearing but it is suppose to be that way.
Do yourself a favor....get the posi lock diff nuts from IRS and sand your diff rings with 600 grit sand paper. Huge difference in terms of setting your diff and how predictable it is on the track.

good luck.
