Default 8.8 Swap Quesitons

I've used the search on the thread and have only been able to find the rebuild process for removing and re installing shock mounts and leaf perches, but i have not found a complete rebuild thread where someone starts from scratch and literally goes through everything.

I picked up a bare 8.8 housing no ring and pinion no carrier no axles nothing. So i would like to see if there is a thread where someone has gone through absolutely everything. If not i need information on everything I would need.

I've also used Google and just found the same generic rebuild like leaf perches shock mounts ect.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

whats to know? order gears, full case locker, master install, super 88 kit, rebuild the brakes if necessary
find someone to install it all then weld on your perches and hook up the brakes

or go to a junk yard and get a LSD carrier, c-clips, and stock shafts
weld the tubes to the housing too

it's gonna be difficult to walk you through it without some more specific questions

I mainly am just looking for a kit that contains all the bearings, seals, and whatnot to assemble the axle and run it. I understand I need gears, pinion, carrier of my choosing, and axles, but there is also a lot more

I think you're referring to this master install kit we've all been talking so much about
