Well, I can't really say from a performance standpoint. The truck gets fired probably Mon or Tues for the first time. But the rearend fit well. I had the flanges welded/re-drilled to have matching 5x4.75 lug pattern all around. And the ratio was waay too high (low numerically) in the 2.50's so we changed to 3.73's. I guess I'll find out soon. I'll let you know if there's anything of concern.
