okay guys im doing a SAS/ SOA on my 2000 mountaineer have a few questions.
this will be street and offroad driven.
i was going to use a Ford 9" but really leaning towards keeping my 8.8.
1. is a spartan locker pretty good for the 8.8? any recommendations of where to get this from?
2. i want to run 5.13 gear s(35" tires) where do you recommend getting gears from?
3. i do not have a bearing puller/ press. if i just replace the gears/ add locker with out doing the seals/ bearings is that okay? issues??
4. i need to go from 5x4.5 to 5x5.5 to match the dana 44.... is the ebay adapters good enough 1.25" ??
5. i plan to do a rock cover on the diffential cover because i know its a weak point.
6. i plan to weld the tubes.... anything i need to know about that?
7. anything else you guys recommend me doing? or not doing??
Thanks guys!!!
