Re: Lost and Forgotten 51
Last week i my leaf spring kit from tci came in so i ran out and picked up an 8.8 out of a 99 explorer. Its 3.73, limited slip and has disc brakes. Spent a couple hours all three days this weekend. Got the old perches stripped off the axle, put, the springs, hangers and shackles and mocked up the entire rear. I still need to mount the spring cross member, but I'm waiting to check how the axle center-line looks in the fenders. I'm obviously gonna replace the wood blocks with solid steel, so i can offset the centering pin a little if i need to. Here's a couple pics...
