Iv seen D44 break.......... I have yet to see a 8.8 break.........I know more ppl with 8.8s including me.
i got a 5 speed though. I was told that would be the best set up...IS i
It's the best way to get disk brakes.
Truss it and weld the tubes to the center section.
Otherwise you could put a D60/14bolt/9inch in there for probalby around $100 for the axle.
Then $300 for gears/install kit. $250-500 for some sort of traction aid (detroit/arb/lockright)
$200 - 300 for any machining needed to narrow it. $300-$500 for someone to install the gears
$200 for either new wheels, or spacers for the front to fit a 3/4 or one ton wheel.
So a ford 8.8 is really a no brainer.
You retain the original bolt pattern, no need to narrow it. And if you find one with 4.10's and a limited slip it will last you a good long time. After the LS clutches go, lunchbox it and call it a day.

why narrow a full width? just be a man and get a matching front.

i have a question. not trying to hi-jack or anything.
you guys with 8.8's. how much did you buy your axles for and where did you get them. im most likley getting one from the jy.
oh, and what explorers come with the lsd and 410s? just wondering what to look for
