I can get a 2008 8.8 4.10 ls rear end with 10 inch brakes and 30k miles for 600 dollars...I have 373s and need 410s..am I gonna run into any problems cuz I currently have 9inch brakes? It should be a direct swap over minus new shoes and drums..

How is the ls in the 08s?? Is it a torsen??

Pros and cons..?

Discuss please..i plan on picking it up in the next few days unless someone convinces me otherwise

 

It should work. The 10 drums work fine on 15" rim...so if thats what you have or larger you'll be fine.

 

only fx4 l2 got torsen's. more info on the 8.8 and the vehicle its from is handy

 

Direct swap, it will have the regular trac-lok. Torsen is FX4 LII only. 9 to 10 inch brakes is direct swap, braking will improve. $600 is a little more than I would spend but the low mileage is a win.

 

well its an 08 ranger its coming out of, and i dont think they made level 2s in 08..so no torsen...any other info i should know about it? are the 10" drums gonna work for sure with my 15" wheels?

 

^^ same time post...you answered my question about the brakes then...looks like im buying tomorrow then

 

Anyone got any tips I should look out for when I install it?? This will be my first axle swap..I don't think it'll be too bad though.

 

Make sure you get the right fluid for that axle (4 quarts) and you will need Friction Modifier for the Trac-Lok if the fluid you use doesn't already have it.

Besides that it should be super simple.
