I need some info on f150/Bronco 8.8's. I am pretty certain they are all 31 spline. What years were they offered in? Are they all 5x5.5 bolt pattern? And whats the WMS to WMS measurement?

I have a Ford 9" I was going to use, but its low pinion and I still have to buy a ring and pinion set. I figured I could take apart my Ranger 8.8 and use my ring and pinion and bearings in the F150 8.8. I think the brakes should work too!:icon_thumby:

Thanks!
 
85-present.

Up until 1997 they were 5x5.5 bolt pattern. After that they went metric 5 lug, then metric 6 lug.

They were all 31 spline. Some of the early ones had a smaller 3/4" cross shaft VS the bigger 7/8" shaft.

I think they are 65" WMS to WMS. I guess I'll have to gamble on the cross pin.
 
I think it was only the first couple years. Anything after 87?? Should be the big 7/8" cross pin.
 
Perfect thats exactly what I needed to know!

Anyway, different subject. I made some radius arms for my Dana 44. I put them on using these old bushings I had and I installed them correctly according to their instructions, but they are at different angles/heights now. I moved the wedges over 2.5" and I used my angle finder to make sure both wedges were the same on both sides (passenger side and drivers side) And now one is off. What do you think happened?
F150 8.8 info?
 
Got a picture of the entire length of the arm and the wedge?
