did you sell FBG yet? saw it was pending on NC4x4. just curious. hope the sale goes/went well.
not sure if you found any info on the 8.8's. a lot of Heep guys choose the Explorer rear axles, as they are 5x4.5 and have discs. If you go that route, you'd need to redrill the rear or make the front match the rear to have the same lug pattern. The full size stuff is 5x5.5 but is a lot wider. Not sure if you plan to cut/narrow the housing, but my guess is that you would. If it were me, I'd just use a cut down 9" and run 31 spline stuff in it. something is telling me you already got a housing a while back, but i can't remember for sure.
