Did you have to drill holes in your frame to hook it up? And what grade of bolts did you use?

Grade 8 and I used existing holes because I don't like adding extra holes in my frame.

Time to get the 8.8 set up.
I got this with 3.73 gearing. Right now running 3.55 so I will be 2wd after the swap till I regear the d30.
Got the housing all cleaned up and ready to go back together with new clutch packs seals and brakes. I wanted disc brakes bit I'll have to use these for now..

New clutch packs in. Had to run to DD for coffee been up most of the night so you know..
After the guts are in time to build a stronger diff cover and reverse the spring perches since this axle is under spring.

After I get new shocks. I'll measure. The ones that came with lift are for 4.5 not 6.5 so it's kind off.
