dana 35 swap

[rdill]

will the track be wider if i put a 35 from an explorer under my bII and if so how much

 

[Sunk]

Yes the D35 is wider, but IIRC its only about 1" wider. RBV's also already have a wider track in the front than rear. If it bothers you that much, get an Ex 8.8 to make it close, or get wheels with different backspace.

 

[Hahnsb2]

I'm pretty sure it's 1.5" wider per side.

 

[bronc]

Pretty sure it's 1.5" total. 3/4" per side. It is noticable but why are you concerned? Shouldn't be anything to be worried about.

Also remember if your bronco2 was a 1990 produced after November of 1989 it would already have a D35 front axle, so any "handling" worries you might have are something you can forget.

mine was built early in 89 and has the dana 28 i guess i will just use the explorer rearend that way i will have 4 wheel disc brakes and just get a set of wheels with a different offset so they wont stick out of the fenders it isnt used offroad it is just a driver
