Just like you said, the article stated that the gears are the weakest link in an 8.8.
Lets say I stay with the 8.8 and narrow it 2-3", can I still get lowers that will work? I would choose the 8.8, I'm just concerned about tire clearance if I choose to stay with factory style susp.
the people i'm talking about that have problems with the gears are making 1500-2300hp
i plan on 800 or a little more.
there are plenty of drag radial guys running 325 and 315 radials..worse comes to worse u mini tube which is alot cheaper then a back half job..shit u can mini tube a car your self..plenty of kits out there
look at upr for rear suspension stuff
