Gears vs spline count
I've been searching and can't find what I'm looking for. I am looking into buying some 4.88's. I currently have a 28 spline 8.8, looking to get a 31 spline in the future.
Would the gears be interchangable between the 28 and 31 spline axles? or would I need a new pinion?

The 28 spline gears will work, in a 31 spline housing, you will just need to change the ring gear over to the 31 spline carrier when you do your rear axle swap.
Buy the gears for your 28 spline, and switch the gears to your 31 spline when you get it.
It is the exact same ring and pinion between the 2 axles.
