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

C clip eliminator kit.

8.8's are everywhere here for dirt 9's are expensive and few and far between. All the drag car guys have more money than the off-road bunch it seems lol.

9's are everywhere up here and they very in size

And I'd say the off-road guys are spending just a bit less than drag guys, unless your talking desert truck and the. It's even, probably more for the truck



Also I know a ton about the 8.8 they came stock in Broncos. I also know that are pieces of shit unless you wana be a parking lot queen
