Which 8.8 are you using? If Explorer, did you center the pinion or are you goint to run it with the 3" offset?
You can also convert the pinion flange to U-joint with NAPA P/N PUJ-372 or Spicer 2-2-1369.
Are you running 5x4.5 Ford wheels?
While I am asking...what harness and PCM for the LS motor?
Yes it is the explorer rear end but i had the pinion centered. Yes at this point i have the ford 5x 4.5 rims, but I have some high dollar billet spacers for another bolt pattern in my storage.
The Harness and PCM are my next project along with trans. linkage.Any recommendations on the harness / PCM I have the american auto wire kit for the rest of the truck.
