you dont want anything to do with an 8.8
they are c clip, you break an axle your fucked
put a full float 9inch in it and be done
i'm super broke at the moment, and an 8.8 has the same lug pattern as my current wheels, and parts are like a dime a dozen where i am (so cal) for the 8.8 rear ends.
if i had unlimited funds the bitch would be linked with a currie rear end

one of the biggest reasons im going with the ford rear end is because 90% of all of the ford ranger 8.8's are 58-1/2" WMS-WMS, and so is my current axle, so tire fitment in the fenderwells would not be a problem
also they come standard with limited slip (which to do to my rear diff would be 600$ plus labor since i dont have a bearing press at my disposal..)
and a ring and pinion set is around 100-200 instead of 250-400
