Yeah, need to know tire size and your wheeling intentions.

A D35 & 8.8" may be fine, or you may need a D60 & 10.25" (or D70).

You should be good with a D35 and 8.8. They'll bolt right in too.

Agreed, D35/Explorer 8.8 should be no problem.

Post pics of your 351 swap when you get it all finished :icon_thumby:
