Boy you are just a wealth of information, you gotta be more specific than that. That is like asking how high up is... When you have more info go to "Conversions and Hybrids " section..

You cut them off the 10 bolt and weld them to the 8.8

If you have to ask this then you have no business doing this kind of work.
I have a strong feeling you have no way to get the tubes perfectly straight before being welded together.
