Ouch, that means the new 8.25 I was going to swap in won't work then huh?

Any ideas of how can still swap the 8.25 in? I wanna get this done.

I've never re geared a vehicle before but have some mechanical experience I guess you could say, how difficult is it to do this?

It would actually be easier to pick up a D30 with the 3.55 gears and swap the entire front axle. Look for one without the vac disco and larger u-joins, preferably 95 and up. The taller gears will also help turn your oversized tires better.
