Ford 8.8

[Skipper51]

I replaced my older 8.25 with a ford 8.8 with disc breaks. It has a beefy 31 spline axles which should be plenty strong enough for the 35’s

I plan to run in the future.

What did the 8.8 swap cost you?

 

[Skipper51]

I had WFO do it so the cost was way too much.
I would’ve had to sub out about 75% of the work any way to install the 8.8 on my jeep so I got a little lazy and just let WFO do the whole thing.

I did see the plug in the back of the differential and I will use that as a fill hole. So when it runs out of that hole in the back the differential is full.

Looks good. I would bump stop it so that you do not destroy those rear shocks since you have around 2.5-3" up travel in the rear

By the way Skipper, how the heck did you get this done so fast !!!!


Looks really good man !!!!!
