Bolt Pattern

BislamJoe · July 19, 2001

Someone has probably already asked, but how do I change the bolt pattern on an 8.8 to 5x5.5 easily and cheaply?

mdrut · July 19, 2001

You Can't...

BislamJoe · July 19, 2001

you can't change it at all? surely you can

or did you mean not easily or cheaply? i was wondering, i'm thinking about that d44 outers swap in front. but i'll probably be doing a 9" in back anyway so it's a nonissue

moser!!!

BislamJoe · July 19, 2001

that's kinda what i thought, but if i'm going to the 9" in the future, i think it'd be best to leave well enough alone 'til then

Moser Engineering and Dutchman Axles offer 5 lug on 5-1/2 " bolt pattern along with new axle shafts. Dutchman Axles will run about $240, Moser $295. The stock 8.8 axle fangles are just barely too short to be drilled out to the new bolt pattern.

Hey Mudd*****,
How do I get a hold of Dutchman? Internet or what?

dutchman is where I got my 5x5.5 8.8 axles from, along with them cutting down the d44 axle shaft.

I got mine from Dutchman too. In fact, I think I was the first! Brag, brag....seriously, though, they seem to be a pretty good product.

Hey Mudd & teissen,
