4.88s in C8.25??
currently sitting on a 3" lift with 31s, looking to upgrade front and rear suspension to accommodate 35s (2" bb(maybe new shocks) and 2" shackle + some trimming), then of course hack n tap..
my question is i know the 8.25 is a good rear but can it take 4.88 gears? do i need a bigger carrier? or is it just worth it to get an 8.8 with 4.10s out of an exploder and weld the mounts on?
thanks
