Spider gear ratios...ummm. Spider gears do the "differentiating" to let the axle go around corners. Limited slip will just have some friction plates under the spiders inside the carrier to limit that power transfer and make both sides go.
You can get a used carrier from a different axle. Since your R&P are toast, you (or a tech) will need to set up new gear clearances. It's not just drop-in. You can reuse gears, but it's not really worthwhile, especially if you're paying to have them done.
