8.8 is pretty strong. Depends what kind of power you putting to it and if you are drag racing it. How fast you plan to go...
Ive had a junkyard 8.8 in my duster since 2009 or so. '10-'11 I put a 400 and 6speed. Had drag radials on it for a while. Now just 315 radials.
They are c clip axles and the c clip eliminator kit adds like 1" per side to the width. So if c clip axles don't fit into your plan I'd look for something else.
