Is this a good deal?
Well im looking to swap in a 8.8 for my 7.5. A junkyaard near me has a 8.8 with 4.10s, and a factory locker in it. It has 45,000 miles on it. At first he said $650 for it and I told him too much so He said $550. I was planning on showing up with cash but what is a fair deal on a axle like this. $550 still seems way high but how much value does that locker add? Thanks guys

So a factory locker was never a option for the ranger? I was pretty sure they did not offer one but wasn not sure. The guy must be smokin crack cuz he said it had a locker in it. I'm gonna offer him $250 tommorrow and see what he says. Maybe I should just keep my 7.5 and regear it. I have a 3" lift with 31s. You guys think it would hold up to these tires. Honestly I take it easy on my truck with occcasional offroading. Thanks again

Ya I detail at a dealership so I could get help regearing but I'd rather do it myself if I can. I like to learn while I work. MY only question is what do I need for a complete regear? I found the ring and pinion on summit, I am guessing I need a install kit too? Should I bother putting a LS in too or some locker? Thanks guys
