Looking around, I've been able to find a lot of information on the 8.8" swap, but not anything about the 9". Are they completely the same, very similar, or are there some differences I should know? Can I just do the same things someone would do for an 8.8" swap?

I have an 03 s10 that makes a slight knocking noise under acceleration, this only happens when I “hard” start around 1.6k rpms we recently took the rear end apart and replaced the axle bearings and the carrier bearings. And just recently we replaced the hangar bearing for the driveshaft. I know...

Other than a little difference in speed, are there any major mechanical worries going from 31" to the 265? I need to replace tires and budget is tight. and as you all know 31x10.5x15 are like the tire makers f&*(&ing baby. Any input is appreciated folks! Howie.
