Could somebody explain the difference between dealer replacement clutches, and aftermarket clutches for my 8.8 rear end? I understand that stock clutches are "paper clutches"? Are all aftermarket ones the same?

School me please...

Thanks
 
I thought the rebuild kit was just that, same thing but new. Why would you leave a clutch pack out? From what I have heard, you want to add and extra pack so it will be extra tight.
 
The order of the frictions/steels of a stock rear end goes like this... F/S/S/F/S/S/F

Withj extra clutch packs, you would go F/S/F/S/F/S/F

I was just curious as to what is the difference between stock dealer replacement clutch packs, and aftermarket clutch packs.. material, quality, etc?
