So what are the width differences in different years of the 8.8's? Also axle lenths? I miss something? 4" shorter than a 93-02? so same size as a 82-92?

So whats the deal with 98 and up? They say there 62.5" Hub to Hub. What is the diff?

You mean 99 and up i think it comes down to axle choice

So not as many aftermarket axles? Maybe different diffs? All info would be appriciated

No each different style mustang used different length axles fox bodys 79-93 sn95 94-98 and 99 up was all different length you just have to chose what works for your application.
I used the 94-98 axles because when installed finished length was exactly 4" shorter then a stock 10 bolt

So it sounds like 94-98 axles in a 79-93 housing will work for me than. Put me pretty close to factory width. Thanks

Yes the 94-98 axle will work in a 79-93 housing you just need to change the backing plates

ok thanks. Love this thread! I'll be making my own when the time comes. Looking at buying a scrap 82-92 rearend for the brackets and tubes and a 8.8 for the center section. You suppose a truck 8.8 would work? or atleast the center section? How about if it just costs a case of beer?

i was wondering for those that have just had the 8.8 tubes cut off and then had the fbody tubes welded on, what axles are they using?

Only bad thing about the truck and explorer 8.8 is the weight of them. The mustang 8.8 is the lightest

I think this is going to be my new ladder bar setup this spring. I am going to build them from scratch going to run the lower bar parallel with the cars body then slope the upper bar down right before it makes body contact. Of course these will be made out of rod ends and cold drawn dom tubing so i will have more then one adjustment for my suspension. It should convert my setup to a regular ladder bar not a short ladder. Not that i have had any problems with current setup but if i am going to build lower control arms i might as well get the benefit of full ladder bars.

Excuse my bad Ms paint skills

Yea.. weight wouldn't be anygood then...why not go with a 9" than hu? Wonder how much weight? 5-10lbs?? So are you gonna pre set your pinion angle or put an adjustment in there? Looks good!

I think they are just getting custom built axles that are mustang length but with chevy ends.

I had my axles cut with GM hubs bolt pattern & bearings for my f-body and had them splined to 31 for the 8.8
