Don't be surprised when your diffs prove to be the weak link in the drive train, even 3.3 diffs won't last. At least shim them properly and put the diffs in some cheapie metal diff cases so they can't twist under accel. That might make them last a little longer.
OS 18TM was enough to shred my 2.5 rear diff repeatedly and the 8xl should deliver more torque than that. The difference in the 3.3 diff was 2 extra screws in the stock plastic diff case so it had 4 vs the 2 screws the 2.5 stock diff case had. Was some better, but not strong enough, it can still twist enough to let R&P strip.
