Oh ic so what u guys recomend? I'm not goin to the extreme I'm gona have 33's for now so I'm not looking to get any bigger for now. Here is a few pics on my swap. Just cut the old brakets off.Derp said:Those are the 2 companies that make the best gears..
I would go superior for the gears and invest in all new internals while you're at it.PedroJr said:Oh ic so what u guys recomend? I'm not goin to the extreme I'm gona have 33's for now so I'm not looking to get any bigger for now. Here is a few pics on my swap. Just cut the old brakets off.
OP, pay zero attention to this statement. Maybe if you were running 37s you should worry about the stock carrier, but not on 33s or 35s. The only reason I would upgrade the carrier is to get rid of the crappy stock LSD and go for a Detroit TruTrac, or a locker if that's what you want. Point is, don't go upgrading it because your scared you're going to break the stock carrier, because you're not.I would go superior for the gears and invest in all new internals while you're at it.
Since you're also considering gears I would recommend replacing the stock carrier with a new full case locker since you'd need to replace the carrier anyways and the stock 8.8 carriers are the weak point of the axle.
M.O.R.E makes a bracket kit for the swap as well.
Hey, at that tire size he won't but he's going to be in their anyways and I'm sure he'd want to lock it eventually so why pay labor twice.freeskier said:OP, pay zero attention to this statement.

If you haven't already look at ECGS for parts. I used Nitro Gears and ECGS master install kits and would highly recommend them.
Well for now I'm gona stay on the 33's since that's what I got for now. I don't know about changin the whole carrier case, I was actually thinkin on just gettin new gears. But here is my think I don't know to either stay on my stock lsd that camr with the 8.8. Not goin to be off road as I would love to. I guess where comes the needs and the wants!!!!!. For now I'm gona stay on my needs plus budget wise.Derp said:Hey, at that tire size he won't but he's going to be in their anyways and I'm sure he'd want to lock it eventually so why pay labor twice.
