so im getting my taxs back which is perfect timing considering im gonna start tearing into the rear susupesion of my 87 with all new stuff. now im looking into a 9inch rear end and was wondering if anyone know's of a hassle free swap from a 8.8 to a 9inch. i was looking at currie and they have some but i havnt herd of anyone doing this swap before or would you recommend that i stay with the 8.8 thats already in it and get that built. another issue is my car is still 4 lug. and it will be changed but if i change to a 9inch im looking at brake headake and crap like that would would you recommend. trying to do this with least amount of fab work as possable since my access to tools isnt really all that great and i cant afford to pay someone to do the work for me. any help would be great thanks

Stay with the 8.8. Get a 31 spline carrier and mosier or strange axles and call it a day.

The 8.8 will be fine, like ttop88 said go more spline with some good axles and you'll be fine.
