8.8 swap
I will be playing with my rear end on Thursday :oops:
I will measure mine then and see for you. Just FYI, you may get some weird answers on this because the confusion of the way it is written. Meaning you described the offset off from center and then finalized the measurement by comparison to the 8 3/4.
I cut 2 15/16" out of my diff, and left a very tiny gap when welded back together. Thus making it shortened 2 7/8", making both axle tubes the exact same length.
