There are no differences between the 8.8 IRS and the 8.8 solid axle as far as gears, differentials, bearings, etc. The only difference are the keepers in the sides to hold the half-shafts in.

I've done several 8.8's....solid axle only. To me, the IRS seems like it would be 10 times easier since you can pull the center section out and set it on your work bench.

If you've done other gear installs....go for it.
