What kind of master cylinder is everyone running? Mine will have manual disk brakes all around now

Got the rear ends matched up together. For giggles I weight the 8 1/4 and the 8.8. The 8 1/4 weighted 217 pounds and the 8.8 weighted 194lb. Both were fully loaded. Not to shabby :)

All done:cheers:

What did you guys do/use for the brakes lines out back? Pictures would be great.

I dropped one in the exact same spot. All I did was lean it down so gravity was forcing it down then get a flexible magnet and get it, super simple. Even a straight magnet might get it depending on how far it fell.

Today we got it all done, now it's time to put it back together with new bearings and seals. :)

Did a little more work on the rear end. Here are a few more pictures. We made a aluminum donut so we could clamp the donut down with the axle in it so it would help us align everything. Double and triple checked our alignment. So far so good.

I'm going to weld the axle tubes after I'm all done. Even though the end is cut it should be just as strong as stock as long as the welding goes smooth ;) I will be using a tig welder. But your plan may give you some peace of mind especially if your going to in high Hp behind it.

I am doing this swap as we speak. I got the explorer rearend with 4.10 gears and limited slip out of the junkyard for $250. I cut exactly 3" off the long side. Here are the pictures so far.. Way bigger axle tubes :)
