I recently considered the same thing. My deciding factor not to was the axles.
I have built 9"/D-30 hybrids. All you have to do is use the d-44 side gears and axles. That doesn't work on an 8.8. Even if you get after market axles made up, when they break, you have to wait for replacements. That wouldn't do for me.
