Tomorrow Im going to a salvage yard to pick up a 8.8 from a 91-01 explorer. This is somewhat of a budget build so I plan to take the axle with the best gear ratio(Ill upgrade to disk brakes later if I have to). Hopefully I can find one with 4.10's if not 3.73's will be fine. There are 18 explorers to choose from so my chances sound good.
With this axle, I was thinking about changing the fluids, greasing up the wheel bearings, relocating the spring perches and bolting it up. Would you recommend changing out the axle bearings or do you guys usually just do what I first mentioned and bolt it up?
