Anybody know if you can install 6.0 gears in stock 3rd members or will I have to clearence the inside of the case?

You will have to clearance the case. No big deal though

Yes, anything 4:56 and over on a STOCK case, you need to grind

anyone have pic's of where they had to grind? planing on swapping out to 5.38's soon.

IMO I would replace the stock case with a better one, atleast a N case. They fit my 4.56 gears with no grinding and are much stronger than stock.

Right where the pinion comes through, start to assemble it, you can tell
