Yeah,

The new 08 CI axle will be 7.25.

Just the housing will change for us. There will be no need for a larger ring and pinion.

I wonder what it would involve to put a larger say 8.25 or 8.5 out of a Tahoe or Yukon into our trucks.

The front drive shaft would have to be custom, but?...

The CI should solve the "deflection" issue.... I'm just not sure that it is big enough to deal with all the weight in our rigs front end.

Custom halfshafts, maybe crossmember, so then a custom skidplate. IMO, it doesn't make sense to put money into a custom IFS application. Might as well do a SAS.

I agree Sewie. It's just like we discussed on Pirate.

All I am really looking for though is a stronger axle that's better able to handle and apply the torque.

so the CI housing is a direct fit for the alu housing? I would do this after my warranty is up...hey maybe GM would start putting them in if enough alu units exploded under warranty...

I wonder if it would be possible to come up with some kind of support or brace to keep the housing from flexing. I am not sure exactly how it does flex. But I have seen other 4x4 with axle braces, although I think they are more for the tube portion on a full axle. Just a thought if any engineers out there can tell me how far off I am.
