ive got a 98 with a stripped pinion/ring, and every thing is worn out ect, ect. any way i got a 8.8 to put in it but it has the 4.5/5 on it instead of the 135, i could just switch out my axles, but the clip is welded to the axle. so what all do i need to switch/ can switch to make my front end 4.5 to go w/ my rear. also i have a set of 12 wides and a set of tires for them, so that also makes me want to switch it over.
