28 to 31 swap

86isuzu · Mar 30, 2008

would it be possible to convert a 28 spline 8.8 to a 31 spline? i know i would need axle shafts, a carrier, and bearings, anything else? i know there was a difference in width in the earlier 4.0 axles, but what about a late model one?

or is it a bad idea? thanks in advance :icon_twisted:

get a full d35 hub to hub and 8.8 drum to drum.

companies like Superior Axle and Moser Axle makes 31 spline axles for a 28 spline 8.8.....but with paying $200 an axle and another $200+ for the carrier, you could get an Explored 8.8 and swap it in and have disc brakes

you will have to weld on spring perches on the top of the axle and shock mount tabs.....
