Will an 8.8 from a Vic bolt in without mods? How much wider would it be? That's what I used to run just cut the mounts off of the fox rearend and welded on the 8.8. For the work I'd run a 9 inch. As far as the width goes it won't be enough to hurt.

Got a set of 4.10 gears to replace the factory 2.47s....if only the bolt for the center pin didn't shear off, I'd have the rearend back under the car already. Looking good man, what brand gears did you get?

Couple things I want to bring up. #1 rear bumper or no rear bumper? I know you need to prebend / notch anyways. #2 front bumper, I can't shorten the frame but I can collapse the bumper shocks or just remove them all together and weld straight to the frame rails /core support with 8x8 plate. # 3 I need to raise suspension but it needs to be functional, aluminum turn keys in the coils?

Tried to post a pic of a wagon I ran. Rolled nice the first run and went to heck in a hand basket the second run. Not sure if the pic worked or not. It seems very tough to make the rear hard with out it bending down soon or later.

did some pre cutting (attempted to bend it up chaining it down to the trailer and jacking on the frame didn't budge) in the rear right in front of where the rear quarters are bent down. hopefully get a great hit in the start get it to go up.

I was skeptical on cutting the frame since there tough didnt wanna make it weak but i left plenty there so if it goes up just alittle thats way better than going all the way down.
