Hey Gang, we upgraded the old stock 14" wheels to 15" with 30" tires. We like the look and the ride much better but we lost some acceleration and made 5th gear just about unusable. It has the stock 3.45 gears and I would like to swap the rearend out for a 4.10. I researched this in the tech section and know to look for a code 87 axle. However, it is my understanding the 1st gen rearends are two inches narrower than the 93 and up. Is that the only difference? Can I bolt-in a 93 and up rearend or is there more to it?
