Disk brake upgrade 8.8 28 spline.
 
So i have an 8.8 28 spline and want to upgrade to disk brakes is there a place i can order them? Or do i have to go to the junkyard and find something?

Don't think it is possible with 28 spline

if you have the 31 spline mustang disk brakes will work

It can be done.

I don't see how Mustang brakes will work since the axle tubes are bigger on the 31 spline axle. But Shane knows his stuff so I guess it works.

Mustang brakes work on the 28 spline and Explorer brakes work on 31 spline. As far as ordering parts I wanna say that Ford Racing made a kit but it was like $400+

I think the kit was more like 700+ if I remember correctly.

5-LUG LOW-COST REAR DISC BRAKE KIT LATE FORD 9" AND 8.8" TRUCK AXLE HOUSING

V8 Level II 07-04-2009 03:05 PM

The Ford Racing M-2300-G kit is just a collection of production Gen 2 Explorer rear disc parts gathered in one box for around $400. It will bolt up to the 31 spline axles only like the Level II, Explorer, etc. Since it's a universal kit, it doesn't quite have everything you need.

Stainless Steel Brakes makes a bolt on kit for the 28 spline Ranger axles. The cost is around $800.

There are other rear disc conversions available for $500~900. Some are more complete than others. Here are some links to look at:

Okay.

I put 12inch vented cobra rear disc brakes onto my axle. it is way easy to do and looks killer. I can get you the link that has the whole set up, everything you need, complete with stainless brake lines, and parts new from ford, for $400. killer deal really.
