The complete kit? That will have Dana 35 perches & hardware in it, and you say you're installing an 8.8 axle. I would only "piece out" the front Dana 30 stuff from them, with regards to axle mounting.

I still think you're missing the point of my question. The "complete kit" includes the Dana 35 rear axle parts. You won't need them with an 8.8 axle.

ohhhhh ok i gotcha. i think im gonna fabricate some for the 8.8

Sidewinder · 03-31-2009, 05:13 PM

unless ya know where i could get some cheap ones

**Joe Dillard** · 03-31-2009, 05:14 PM

In the FAQ thread - it's in the Suspension area.

Here's a link to it.

what size tires do you plan to run and what transmission do you have?
the reason i ask is that if you are going bigger than a 33 I would go to 4:88 r&p
i got my 8.8 swap kit from ruffstuff specialties, very beefy parts , well worth the 100 bucks IMO
also add to your list a good angle finder or a laser so you can get the pinion angle right on the rear axle.
a drop pitman arm
brake line extension for the rear
does your 8.8 have disc brakes? if so you wanna have two short lines (the rubber ford ones)
good luck

Sidewinder · 03-31-2009, 05:30 PM

yeah it has discs. what short lines? breaks? the kit comes with break lines. what is a drop pitman arm? and ill look for an angle finder. thanks guys

He says he's getting the RRO high steer. He won't need a drop pitman arm in that case.
