Will it work?
I had major problems with regearing my 7.5 and my trucks been on jackstands for the past 2 weeks.Instead of fixing what is there im going to swap out my 7.5 for a 8.8.I have located 2 8.8's out of 2009 rangers.The first has 3.73's and l/s 17K miles $400.The second has 3.55's 11k miles and im unsure if its open or l/s for $324. Truck is going to be put in the shop for the regear here in a few weeks.
Now here is my question will my truck turn either of these axle's as is?My truck needs 4.56's for the 31's that are on it. My stock rearend had 4.10's.Im figuering the 3.73 axle will make it feel like my truck is turning 33's and 3.55's would feel like 35's.Obviously the 3.73 axle would be better. But if the 3.55 axle is l/s i may pick it up since it is cheaper and less miles.Keep in mind it will be regeared in a few weeks.
Other than that i found a 1999 8.8 l/s 4.10's with 160000 miles for $400 at another yard

That rings true for 5 speeds mines a auto came stock with 4.10's. i need 4.56's for 31's, 4.88's for 33's.

Not worried about the bearings its going to get regeared to 4.56's in a few weeks with all new bearings. Just dont wanna have to drop the extra cash to rebuild the trac-lok. Just wanna know if my truck will be fine running 3.73's or 3.55's for a few weeks till it gets regeared.
