yes the 8.8 is the stock rear end for a 5.0 and all you have to do is buy a diff set of gears and have someone install them for u

honestly do this. if your doing gears get a a good install kit so it replaces all the bearings adn seals. then get a traction lok rebuild kit. dude it once and not worry about it. unless you traction lok is new then dont do it. if you got some miles on the car rebuild it well your in there

Definatly get the trac-loc rebuilt. Chances are that's it's worn out and you have only one wheel spinning.
Tell the shop or whoever does your gears to add as many clutch disks to the trac-loc as he can. This will make a much better unit and will last a little bit longer.
