So after some research and such I find my exploder has a 45 axle code, which means i have 3.55 conventional gearing... But I'm about to run 285/75/16s(~33in).
4.10 gearing would be great and a 4.10 limited slip would be even better. I've seen a few people re-gearing, but is it possible to find an explorer with the axle code of D2(4.10LS) and do a strait swap? Not having any experience in ford diffs I have a few questions.
What years are the D2 diff in? only the 3rd gen? how hard is this to find?
How hard would it be to just swap opposed to re-gearing? would it be any cheaper?
Any feedback would be awesome, thanks
