Okay Finally got my rear from the junkyard today, L/S 3:73 8.8 for $35 bucks :). Got a question though... I know that i will have to weld the shock mounts from my ranger axle on the 8.8 and im going to move the springs under the axle like on the exploder to drop the rear like 2-3 inches... My question is should i keep the shocks staggered like on the ranger or should i move them so that they are both behind the axle? Would that give me a better launch? Im trying to do every little bit so i can keep my 60ft time low, cause i dont have the time to do a 4 link right now? thanks guys
