36's and stock gears weren't working out very well so i got this Ford 8.8 out of an explorer from a junkyard near me.

Torched off all the mounts and cleaned up the tubes then brought it down to a mustang shop down the street to get the gears installed. They also replaced the outer axle bearings which were not included in the master kit. I lucked out with the rotors and gave em a cut on the brake lathe to give em a nice new surface. The calipers were also good. Not to bad for $150 and a 6 month warranty.

Got a solid diff cover for the 8.8. Also got the IRO swap kit. It comes all the shock mounts, spring perches, u bolts, and u bolt plates. Also comes with a truss to beef things up.

Got my pinion angle set and burned in the spring perches.

Next was the truss and shock mounts. Had to remove some material from the truss on the ends so the u bolts would fit and also had to cut out a little bit on the bottem of one of the holes so the vent tube would clear.

Fits peerfect. I also cleaned up the calipers and sprayed em with silver caliper paint. For the axle I used duplicolor bedliner.
