8.8 Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can someone answer these questions about the 8.8 for me,

Is the lug pattern the same?

Is the width the same as the 12 bolt?

How do you hook up the E brake cable?

And lastly if you currently have factory power front disc/rear drum brakes do you need to change the proportioning valve for the disc brakes on the 8.8?

I'm thinking about looking for one of these and just want to know up front what I'm getting into,

Thanks,

Not the same lug pattern. I believe it is a few inches different on width. Not sure about the rest of your questions.

I doubt they are all the same width,but would be narrow for these trucks.

Dont mean to impose but I have a locker for an 8.8 that I was gonna use in my cherokee and decided not to use it.
