Ford 8.8

[RMatthews]

Hello all, I'm looking for someone that I could meet at Pull-a-Part in Columbia sometime in the next two weekends to help me salvage the components needed from an Explorer to start the TJ rear axle swap.

Just for your info, I'd look for a 1995-2001 so you get disks. Gear ratio doesn't matter because you'll be regearing to match yours (4.56 or 4.88?). What's your locker plan? If you want to do a lunchbox locker look for open diff. If you want limited slip get a factory one, or if you plan to do a full carrier it doesn't matter. You'll also need the driveshaft flange from a ranger (rangers have the same 1310 ujoint as your jeep but explorers have a 1330 joint) or you can buy that part online.

Who do you plan to have do the regear and brackets?
