i have a 2000 v6. if i am going to swap out the 7.5 rear end for the larger 8.8 in preparation for a motor swap, will all my v6 suspension and braking components bolt right up to the 8.8 rear end so its still drivable?

thanks people

Will bolt right up. Due to lack of quad shock I would get aftermarket upper and lowers. Just make sure that the diff is out of a 94+. I believe that the 93 and earliers diffs are not as wide ( by a hair) as the sn95 8.8.

i can always get the quad shocks, are the brakets on the v6's frame to mount the quad shocks?
