OK....rear axle is finished an under truck now. Here is the break down. Explorer 8.8 with 3" taken out of drivers side tube,using two passenger side stock 31 spline axles. 3.55 gears and a Auburn Pro. All new bearings and races through out and a TFS girdle. Only original brake part is the backing plates. New drums,shoes,wheel cylinders,hardware,adjusters,lines and hose. Even have the stock parking brake cables hooked up and working. Big milestone for me and project cuz now the wheels and bed can go on.
I also made some nice upper and lower shock mounts/tabs to work with my foxbody Strange 10way adjustable drag shocks.

Dug out the old shoes to start test fitting ....looks nice but I think the 275/50 might be to wide and short so I might try the 275/60's instead.
