Default Disk brake 8.8 swap and my super Dana 30 4:88 and Eaton Tru-Trac

Sharing what I did. Started with a disk brake 8.8 and my first HP Dana 30

I got G2 4:88 Gears and Eaton Tru-Tracs front and rear. The HP dana 30 got inner sleeved - custom gusset - HD lower control arm brackets - USA Alloy ball joints - Made skid plates to stiffen up the brackets.

Will post more soon when there under the truck


Ford 8.8



The dana 30

i know you already painted it, but, maybe strengthening up that uca mount would be a good idea? and maybe some 'c' gussets while you have it out? looks good either way man!
