8.8 Ford Braced

If you run Fords/Crown Vics in a limited weld type build , where you can have a braced rear end but need it to survive under the car with stock trailing arms the braced 8.8 is a great budget friendly package for you.

The 8.8 with an 8.8” c-clip housing from a 79-96 full size Ford.  The housing is outfitted with new ½” thick DOM axle tubes and billet deep bore housing end / axle saver to house the 35 spline hobby stock axle shafts.  The rear end is assembled with billet main caps, a new spool, bearings and gear ratio of your choice.  Fabrication is rounded out with HD lower trailing arm mounts, fully welded back brace, threaded coil spring perches, shock mounts and a pinion brake.
