You’re right, I’m not trying to get in too deep into the gearing and get myself in trouble. Checked the wms and the c10 is wider so I’d like to be the same. So all in all, an 8.8 most likely will not be something I’ll go after. Thx for the insight.

Good, bad or indifferent, I’m thankful for your insights and solutions. So much info out there and opinions. I’m really just trying to get to my end product super clean and cheap....guess we all are? The highlights I was going after on the 8.8 was posi, the gearing(looking to cruise the strip around here and hit the highway), and disc brakes. The 12 bolt downfall was I’d have to add posi and discs for sure. Guess there will be ups and downs whatever way I go. I’ll check into the 12 bolt a little more. Thx guys!
