Default Rear End Swap ???

i was wanting to know how difficult it would be to swap out a fox 8.8 with a sn-95 8.8 axel so i can run rear disk brakes and have 5 lugs as well. does it directly bolt up or would it have to be modified? also, does the abs sensors play any role? is it possible to swap the whole brake system over to the older axel assembly? any help would be greatly appreciated!

It is a direct bolt in. I did it myself. I jsut saw this thread so sorry about that. Everything will bolt in and you will also need the rear brakes lines from teh sn95 also. Keep in mind that the rear end will be around 1/4 inch wider than the fox rear end on each side. You will also want to upgrade to the Cobra brake master cylinder but you will also have to buy a 3-2 port adapter for it from maximummotorsports.com . anymore question. just PM me
