I want to lock it (just a lockrite) and have 4.10s with 33x10.5r15. So I'm debating between the expo and the ranger 8.8. Right now I have a 7.5 behind a 4.0 with 31s and 3.73s (just waiting for it to break). So if I did the ranger 8.8 I would get disk brakes off a mustang gt (if anyone has insight on how to do that it would be greatly appreciated!). If I do the expo 8.8 I know it's stronger and already has discs but I'm not a fabricater and don't know how to weld, so moving the spring perches up too is a little sketchy. Also I read it doesn't have as much clearance as a ranger 8.8.
I will be wheeling this pretty good. I have a buddy who knows how to weld so if moving the perches up top isn't hard I bet he could help me out..
