Can it hook?
After taking into consideration a lot of advice on here. I talked to Dr.Diff and Moser this week about 8 3/4's and Dana 60's. The safe bet is to just go to the Dana 60 and get it over with.
Now with that being said, it is going to be cheaper in the long run to just do everything at once. What I mean by that is I'm going to go ahead and minitub the car and move the springs inboard. Then I can get a Dana 60 narrowed to the right width and be able to get some decent size rubber under it! I will also be putting in an 8 point rollbar.
