Exactly and well said. Not to mention the 8.8 has a pig of a pumpkin that hangs low and reduces ground clearance.Not a chance, unless he can weld and fabricate. With the offset he will need a sye and dc shaft. Will likely have to rebuild the brakes and get an emergency brake cable kit. And he will still have to inspect it for wear as well. The 8.8 isn't as simple and cheap as people make it out to be.
