mjstiltheydie Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I have a question about which 8.8 is the correct one to get. I am looking to get one with disc brakes. In my search I have found many from many from 6 cylinder engines but not so many from 8 cylinder engines. Is there a difference in the two? What should I be looking for is basically what I am asking?

ORCA Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 http://www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/Axles.html Great place for 8.8 and 9" info ;) No information on the swap itself though. EDIT: swap information too: http://members.cox.net/rough-riders/tec ... rd8_8.html EDIT2: if you want discs then look for a Explorer '95-01, as these are the ones with the disks brakes. '91-94 axle assemblies are just as strong, but have 10" drums (Which are more easily connected to your existing hydraulic lines and Parking brake cables) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 The v6 and v8 Explorer axles are essentially identical. The only differences are the exterior bracketry and you'll be cutting all that off anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Ideally you want a post 1996 model from a FORD EXPLODER/MOUNTAINEER. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
