Hey guys,
Just picked up an 8.8 with 19,000 miles out of a '98 4x4 with 4.10 and limited slip! I've got everything out at home and I'm going to be cleaning it up this weekend and installing it...however, I've got some questions.
The 8.8 has 10 inch drum brakes and the 7.5 has got 9 inch (I've got an '01 XLT)? Does this mean I can't reuse my brake lines, emergency brake cables, etc.? I realize everything else is bolt on, but I was hoping to reuse the brake hardware on the outside since mine was in better shape then the 8.8's (I cut one of the e-brake cables on the 8.8 anyways).
What paint do you guys recommend to put a nice anti-rust coating on the whole thing?
Pictures will follow!
