I hate to tell you this, but you're SOL. The only way to fix it is to put the 8.8" axle back in there.

Edit: Actually, there's a company that does make a 9" axle with a VSS in it, but you'd either have to swap axles again or get them to install one in your axle.

there is a company that sells a device you install on some part of the driveshaft or something to that nature. its a couple hundred bucks if i recall. andy is right though you need to swap to another 8.8.
