It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Depending on how much power you're putting down a 9" may be a good idea. If you're not running over about 500rwhp though, I'd stick with an 8.8".


84- I hear your concern on the leaking part but according to Mark Williams and Superior there axles are machined not to leak. I do plan on having over 500RWHP as I plan to install a D1 Procharger or X trim Vortech in the future. I found out that MW has a kit that is 33 splined axles and a Eaton Posi w/ upgraded hi=torque axles for $1250, I may go that route. I know the 8.8 can take a lot of abuse I just thought if I was going to get a complete rear would it be a good idea to upgrade to a 9"
