8.8 swap

Excellent thread, I'm watching this one closely! Back when I was on the fence about going 8.8 or 8.75, prices around DFW for a decent exploder 8.8/3L73/DB rear were ALWAYS in the $6-800 range. Couldn't find anything close to a reasonable price, so I went early-B 8.75 instead. Had I known I was going to be so committed to Ford wheel sets, I probably would have stuck it out with my 8.25 for a while longer until prices came down on the 8.8's. For my uses, the exploder is about the right width already, but some others in Rangers I think are a little narrower - and equal-length side to side? Been too long since I researched those. Hard to beat the exploder for a full-meal-deal rear axle package, though, isn't it?

Nice work!
