Default PRE built 8.8 rear pics RACE CAR STUFF


8.8 shortened 2.5" on each side to fit my 15x12s. had rear coil over shock brackets jiged in along with jig welded adjustable lower control arm mounts so i can get the proper IC and A/S

NICE WELDS





I went with 35 spline strange axles and 5/8 studs for the rear with the 9" bearing ends.
New strange spool and last but not least Strange rear slotted lite weight brakes

Sort of surprised that you are using an 8,8 rear-end considering the power level that I think your new engine will be at........

its kind of right on the edge it should handle it ok for now, but in a year or two when i throw the coal to this thing with a turbo ill be going to a 9" right now it was a money thing, 1500 to build the 8.8 with good parts or 4000 for a average 9"
