If I blow up my rear I'm getting a 9.5" like the one in the VHO (and the new Trailblazer SS), I'm not even messing with a 8.5" again. Why would I bother? I'm not a masochist, so forget it.
As far as the tranny, when/if I blow up mine, it would be a dilemma between at 4L80 swap and an FLP L5. After seeing how Chuck treats his customers, I'd be very tempted to go the L5 4L65 route.

upgrading the rear in yours will probably be a good idea. that's alot of weight on a 10 bolt. going to take a bit of work to have the brackets put on would be my only guess.

I'm not a gear guy, so I can't tell you if your gears are good or not. I don't know if 'looking good' and 'being good' are the same thing. Hopefully someone else will pipe in with the correct answer.

I don't really have the money for the 9.5 rearend swap, Parish said he thing it would be around $1500 and I don't have the money because I just did a 6.0l cam swap and there people with 2wd trucks putting more power to the ground then me and there using the 8.5 rearend and thats holding up.
