my 8.8 build my 8.8 that i have been building is alot different then most people have done so i figured i would share and post pics of the progress that has been made on it
the rear end uses stock mounting brackets for the pan hard bar and shocks.
i did not cut the tubes like every one else has done in the past i had the brackets put on the stock 8.8 tubes. i chose to put 9inch housing ends on the 8.8 instead of having to run c clip eliminators on the 8.8 rear. having them on there makes the 8.8 more like a 9inch with changing gears and not having pressed in axcles.
also this rear will use a 35spline richmand spool with a set of custom strange axcles since the housing ends i am using.
i will post all the pics up this weekend for every one to see how it turned out.
i am curently waitng on the axcles from strange shoud have them in a week or two
also thanks to 01bad01ta for building the hosing the way i specified and also thanks goes out to madman for helping me with the housing end choice
