F150 8.8" in 96 prerunner...

Ok so i already know i am going to have to relocate the spring perches. shock mounts will be relocated to the u-bolt plate. Now all i am wondering is if i could maybe find one with disk brakes that i could use an e brake with? Secondly I selected 5.13's for gearing and am trying to avoid a notched cross pin? Should I go ahead and spool it or keep a limited slip(currently a very gutted dd). Any input guys?

Don't ever use a notched cross pin. You'll need to grind 1 or 2 teeth down slightly for a full sized cross pin to work.

That is what i have been hearing alot of. That material would come off the ring gear correct??? and as for the spool, how bad is the tire wear and stress on the trans? here in OK you have to go thru mud to get anywhere and the l/s has troubles, my brand new trac-loc wore out in under 2 years.
