Changing the diff gears should make it driveable both on and off road.

The 2.8 was never quick anyway, so don't think it can be :D

as a rough calculation you'll lose the equivalent of about 18% of your engine power.
35's on a standard 2.8 is a bit yukky

I ran 35's on my 2.8L turbo lux. Swapped over to 4.88 diff gears. Needed to run wheel spacers as the front rubbed on the springs and rear hit the chasis when flexed up. Other than that it was great.

1/4 inch spacers all round on mine. Fronts dont touch the springs but the rears still rub on the chasis on full flex
