that's my plan. it wouldnt hurt if you plan on going wheels up. are you planning on running your 8.8 full width or cutting the long side down? i just scored another short side shaft to replace the drivers side and center the pumpkin. waiting on my carbon trac-loc rebuild kit and spring perches to come in before dropping it off to get cut down.
