Match gears, bolt in, make sure your wheels don't stick out too far, install flares if needed, have fun?

well i gotta weld spring perchs on and shock mounts lol i worryed i might put em 2 far apart or off set

The perches and mounts go in the same spots as on the 7.5. measure twice, weld a bunch.

you just need to think of everything step by step. double check your measurements.

i'd do it this way, get your perch's on the axle (NOT WELDED) then put it under your truck. a little tap tap this way, and a tap tap that way to cent it. then set your pinion angle, tack weld the perch's in place. then remove and weld the rest. then go from there!

you'll need to do something with the driveshaft cause the one on your b2 bolt up to the 8.8

all you gotta do is change the flange at the ujoint, if you are using the real driveshaft.. if using the cv axle thing, then change it anyways... lol
