Man, what a difference the L/S makes..... I took it out for a bit yesterday & this thing pulls, I got into a couple of rocky areas while me & my buddy were cutting trails on his families property, it climbed like a mntn goat with no wheel spin........drives better now with the 8.8 minus the sway bar & has more flex!!
old 7.5 open & sway bar ready to come out:
OUT!!! Good working axle except for the obviously bad pinion seal:
My 8.8 waiting to be brought in the shop....axle in the back is the one I tore to pieces at Turkey Bay...
Big Thanks to my dad & all of his time!!!
Mocked up..........
Drilling the u bolt holes bigger on the spring plates...
There she is...
The '89 B2 that came in with cracked heads.....
The droop..........
Awesome pinion angle at full droop......Perfect at ride height...
