Default 8.8 built write up please?

I've been searching for a write up on building an 8.8 from a ranger.. A lot of what I've found is either way too vague for what I know about rears, gears, and posi (not very much) but mainly what I'm looking for is something that goes fairly in depth with explanation

I'm just looking for a beefier differential with posi and 373's for as cheap as I can build it

Maybe you guys can help me out

Thanks in advance

Putting an 8.8 into an F-body isn't a novice-level project. It requires some design work, fabrication, welding, machining, etc. Keeping searching this section and you'll find lots of info. Check out my build thread here.
