Time to put my new gears in my notch going from 3:08's to 3:73's but wondering to chang to a better clutch along with it or change the clutch pack in the ol 8.8. it only has 108,000 on the drivetrain but ever once in a while i get a one wheel wonder. But at the same time my clutch and pressure plate feels stiff like a bad plate its only got 10,000 on it but its a cheap replacment. any advice?

Well if you are gonna be in there putting gears in then definitely spend the extra bones to do the LS.

you'll wanna get a ring & pinion install kit and definatly a trac-lok rebuild kit, stuff as many shims in it as you can, will make it super tight

Definitely rebuild the traction lok while you're in there. Do the hillbilly mod where you pack it friction/steel/friction/steel/friction/steel/friction on both sides instead of the factory f/s/s/f/s/s/f.

As for the clutch, if it aint broke, don't fix it.
