Ford 8.8 build
Also if you want to trim it to make it look better you can cut off the abs "fins" and a little off the front:

You can see I sawed the fins right off and ground smooth, and also right to the left of the pinion where those holes are I sawed some off, makes for an even cleaner look. Again def not necessary, but makes it look soo much better.
Hi guys, im probally going to be doing this soon as well my question is how does the abs work on this swap? Is it capatable or do you just throw it out? And ive been reading it will throw a check engine light. Thanks
people usually don't bother with abs when swapping in a 8.8. But I think I have seen maybe two who got the abs working.

Alright so I have everything in order as far as I can tell. I have the IRO swap kit coming, some gears coming, install kit coming, IRO abs block off plate and a solid diff cover. Now I know I'll need an adapter for the flange. I'm running a 242 transfer case, I WILL BE installing a hack n tap and a front drive shaft in the rear.. Any suggestions on this and what adapter to get? Thanks.
