Rear end swap write up????
Is there any good rear end swap write up's out there? I have a new Ford 8.8 rear end coming in a week or so. The builder says it's complete bolt in just like 12bolt would be but I'd like to get a little familar with the whole process before I try and tackle it myself.
Thanks
Joe

Its pretty straight forward - just jack the car up, support the rear with a jack, and the car with jack stands. Disconect everything from the rear (LCAs, shocks, PHR, brakes, etc., etc.). Drop rear down, pull out from under car, install new one in reverse order. Thats about it.

This is for a Strange 12-bolt but I would think that it would basically be the same.
