Drive shaft is different. Everything else should be a bolt in swap. I went with the Strange S60 from DrDiff. The most bang for the buck. All new with a 12 month warranty for $2350.

Agree. Drive shaft is about an inch shorter. According to fsm. Big question is are you pushing enough horsepower that you need to do this upgrade or just want to? Either answer is good but if don’t need to why do it

I recently upgraded my 8 3/4/ also, ended up going with the Dutchman housing, only because it was going to cost an arm an a leg to get the strange gear out here. After the stuff around from the local diff shop, I think if I could do it again, I'd go the S60 option. I think Dr. Diff has it listed on his website, pick nad choose options like a shopping list.
