you just hav to swap it out. The 8.8 will not need t-lok, but it will need new gears

LCAS is the Lower Control Arms if im not mistaken....but donig the 8.8 get some Upper and Lower from UPR...chromolys that would help nice...I dont know to much about the Quad shock setup that comes on the GT if its needed in doing so or if we have somthing similar...
Wheel hop is a damaging biproduct as a result of our 4-link's bad geometry and its designed sloppiness. Because of this inherent slop, tire spinning traction can develop rythmic variations causing the axle's motion to find it's harmonic motion and begin to bounce uncontrolably. The quad shock dampens the axle's attempt to reach this harmonic motion and controls the lead in to bounce (wheel hop). Stock Lower Control Arms are flimsy and contribute to the 4-links sloppiness. Because of their geometry, stiffer LCAs can benefit the system. However, because of their geometry, stiffer Upper Control Arms (UCAs) are only recommended for drag cars, and can damage the torque boxes if used otherwise.Bies08 said:
