    That rearend looks great compared to the one I got, Mine was in the dirt for awhile and needed sandblasting very bad. I'm don't remember for sure what your using for suspension but I have a 4 link and coil overs and I found that a rear sway bar off of a trailblazer fit perfect for me ( I'm posting some pics of it tonight ), If your using leaf springs than I'm sure the 8.8 one should fit just fine..

    I'll be using leaf springs. I have a triangulated 4 link kit here in the shop that I got in a parts lot at an estate sale. I considered using it in the sedan, but I've since decided to stick with the leafs. I found brand new springs on eBay last night for about $250 (one of mine has a broken leaf) so I went ahead and ordered the set. Least modification required and it makes for the cheapest way to the finish line. I'll have to move the perches, but it should be fairly easy to get it in there.
