[QUOTE="KarlVP, post: 1029310, member: 16136"] Depends on the tires. 35 and below get a rear 8.8. But for the money you could do a 9 inch or 60 rear way cheaper. 8.8's in the area run around $300 to $500. Cost of a 9 or 60 rear $75 to 100. Just depends on the tire size. That being said, I beat the ever living piss out of my 8.8 with 35 creepys. Bashed it over rocks, shock loaded it. Just normal "cozy with the stupid pedal" driving. It's held up fine. I did have the ring gear come off the carrier, but I blame that on my driving style. Now the carrier bolts are "lock wired" to the carrier. Ain't no more backing off. As for the 30. With the same tires, I fully weld my u-joints in (Spicer 760's) and have yet to break one. I did truss the 30. And the joints wear out about every 6 months (DD and WW) but the only time I broke a front 30 joint was in a parking lot, with a smaller u-joint. (Forgot I was in 4wd) [/QUOTE]
