8.8 w/ 4:56's heck yea

Everyone acted like I was crazy for looking for a 8.8 with 4:56's already in it. Just got an explorer 8.8 31 spline axle with 4:56 gear ratio in it. total with shipping 350.00. Never hurts to look and ask around

Dig that. Good deal. I'm running an 8.8, 31 spline with 4.56 in my Ranger and it's a great axle.

As soon as I get the rear end in. I'll be running a set of 35" TSL's. My truck is a 96 with 4" sus and 3"BL. I have a set of 6" SJ springs for the front. i want to get some Chevy springs for the rear before I put the SJ in.

Got the axle off a guy on explorerforums. He shipped it from Colorado i think.

I need to paint it and maybe a brake job. Like i said already has spring perches. I just need to get shock mounts welded on.
