thats a great rear end, it will bolt right in. the only thing I dont like, and its a really shallow nitpicky thing, is how wide it is. it is 3 inches wider than a regular 4x4 rear, and that works nice for getting the wheels out there to fill up the fenders, but its about 5 1/2-6" inches wider than the front end so even if you use 1 1/2"-2" spacers on the front it looks a lot wider in the rear. its just my personal thing, it may not even matter to you, especially if you use 3" spacers on the front.
the 8.5 rear is super strong, you could run big block torque in it.
