So I'm doing a complete rear end swap since mine is done for..

I'm getting another 8.8 with 3.73's

it's a complete rear end

am I over thinking this?

Is it really just un-doing a few bolts dropping mine out and bolting the new one in?...I've never done it before so I'm scared to f something off

It's bent. The bend wasn't that bad until I launched too hard...

My differential is also doing one wheel wonders and my drivers side axle is bent....it's junk....I figured I'd part it out

3.73's for 150$ ( less than 5,000 miles)
differential for 100$ without rebuild kit (stock)

and I'll probably sell the housing to some 4x4 junkie for 80$ cause those guys like to fix bent axle tubes and reinforce them with big clumsy contraptions

Or I'll just sell the girdle

If the rear I get just so happens to have a detroit locker in it I'm going to Lose my fing mind!
