im eventually wanting to toss a locker and 4.88 gears into my ranger, and was thinking why not just buy an explorer 8.8 that i can build up, so when the time im ready to swap comes it will take a day at most.
had a few questions about the axle, and swap in general.
explorers are spring under right? so id need to address that, has the disc brakes already so thats not a concern, what about axle shafts, their 31 spline correct? is there a way to go higher? 34 or 35 spline?
Theres one listed locally for $80.
yes, $80.00 not a typo.
that seems like a killer price to me. It needs brakes, and id do a complete overhaul of it, but still.
