greetings and salutations!
ive been browsing around here for a bit since i bought my 2001 Sport Trac, 4.0L, 4WD. i have some moderate plans for. i would really like to rebuild the rear axle, and being that its a daily driver i need to build a separate axle to swap.
so my question is. what vehicles can i get an axle from? i believe mine came with an 8.8 with 3.73lsd gears. (looks like at some point someone swapped another axle in) next question is if i get an 8.8 with disc brakes can that be swapped in pretty easy? third question is i have ABS how will that work with an axle swap with disc brakes? i assume if it has the differential speed sensor it should all be fine and well...
Id like a pretty simple swap. no cutting and welding mounts. all the internal stuff i can do. just cant weld.... yet.
thanks for the help guys.
