If you don't mind me askin. What did the 8.8 run you? I've been hoping to Junk yard one and spend my time building it up -----it'll take a while , I've got no experience with gears, axles or differentials outside of changing diff oil. And what kind of spacers do you have between the axle housing and the leaf springs?

i gave $350 for it. i got it from a friend. thats what he paid for it at a salvage yard. it is a 410 lsd factory. it depends on the yard anywhere from 150 to 450. mine was already setup for my lift and the spring perches where already welded on.

im not runnin any spacers yet. i am runnin a 4.25" offset with a 15x10 rim
