The Ford 8.8 rear axle assembly originally designed for the Ford Explorer is a super heavy duty axle and is very simple to install in Jeep vehicles.
These axle assemblies are brand new! They feature a 5x4.5 bolt pattern, 4.10 gears, disc brakes (95 & newer), 31 spline axle shafts, 8.8" diameter ring gear (D35 is 7.5"), pinion flange, 120% stronger than a Dana 35, only 20 pounds more than a Dana 35, limited slip differential stock, and strong 3-1/4" diameter tubes.
The width of the 8.8 assembly is 5/8" per side narrower then the Dana 35. This is a very minor drawback, and will work if you have wheels with less backspacing than stock - stock Jeep wheels will not work. The Ford 8.8 is not compatible with anti-lock brake equipped Jeep vehicles!
These axles are upgrade able to ARB selectable lockers, Detroit lockers, and for the value minded a Lockrite lockers.
Gear ratios available to match the Dana front 44s and 30s;
- 3.55
- 3.73
- 4.10
- 4.56
Gotta' TJ? No problem, we can weld the optional TJ brackets on the axle and have it shipped ready for you to install.
Superior Axle Shafts available for that extra abuse!
Call National 4WD to have your axle built to your specifications.
