Do you want my 3.08 ;-) just awesome paired with some 265/75r16.

Everybody told me, if I go from OEM 235/70r16 to 265/65r16 that my milage would suffer, but mileage went up...

Nice! I have the same cover. Found it on Craigslist for 100 bucks, cost more to fill the damn thing than anything else lol.

How are the gears? Do you think you could do a 0-60 vid?

truetrac?

is a case spreader needed to get the shim packs in on the 9.75?
been contemplating a truetrac + 4.1 gear change and do it myself

tired of spinning tire pulling out of subdivision in traffic in rain. Have to turn at same time and just spin tires on asphalt with smooth river rock filler.

worst that can happen is I never get pattern Im satisfied with and tow it to a good shop to finish.....so worth a try for $500 labor.
Having setup bearings seems to be a key...
As with most things, Im of the mind I can do it better than someone else, even if never did it before, with right tools and info
because take more care and follow procedures better
Front sees such little use....wont matter likely even if not perfect
