6'5", jesus christ do you use a ladder to get in?

6.5" is like a low rider.

While Im sitting eye level with that Yota, I still have WAAAY more clearence underneath...lol Low center of gravity(in comparison to othr lifted vehicles) FTW

^^ back on subject, sounds like the most important thing is to make sure i find someone competent to do the install! so would it be best to have an aussie installed in the process or is it fairly easy to come back and install an aussie into an 8.25 later? like, without removing the carrier (with 4.88s)?

would be much easier to do it all at once while its all taken apart

I run Nitro 4.88s in my 30 and 8.25 and they're good. I don't have experience with any other gears but when I had issues installing and I called/emailed Nitro I got great service. I'd recommended them to anyone, and I'll buy them again for my next axles.
I also run an aussie front and rear in mine. For the front, I'd install it while you're gearing it because the carrier must come out and the ring has to come off. The rear, takes 2 hours with simple hand tools to install. It's a cake install. I'd do it all at once but it's not the end of the world to pull the cover and spiders to install it.

WHats this stuff about grinding a pin?

It's not a pin you have to grind, it's one of the ring gear teeth. If you get real lucky you might be able to orient the ring gear so that the center pin of the differential will come out between two teeth but if not then you have to grind down one of the ring gear teeth to allow the center pin to be installed. This is because the ring gear must be thicker on higher gear ratios.

Then go fro Nitro!

I'll buy anything if they included a cool box and a cool sticker
