Keep that diff for a long time. 2.88s are slowly disappearing. Especially low mileage units.

Your write up is awesome! Pics and all. I was a little worried about getting under there at first. But with the stands in those positions, it was really solid.

The only trick with doing it "as a whole unit" was getting the drivers axle up and over the exhaust pipe and then getting the passengers axle tip (spline) around the passengers brake hose. Other than that it was a cinch. I'm keeping the old diff. for now.

Thanks again!
