I agree, if your making huge torque then i would go with a built 9" but an 8.8" has a better design and can take a beating, not to mention plenty of cheap parts to fix it with. Can't say I would ever install Eaton brand guts in my 8.8", seen too many failures.

Ahh, but how much more HP does a 9" use than an 8.8"? Who cares, 8.8" rears are plentiful and fairly dependable.
