New Ford 8.8 differential prospect
- Thread starter Dc317

It’s been a long week bud, have a beer and support the movement!
If you know the right people and resources you can piece your 8.8 kit together yourself like I did without having to go threw Andy 
Possible, but it’s nice to have an option for a full kit. One that will actually get shipped to you if you pay for it (still waiting on my paypal dispute with andy).
Subbed, would be nice to have a vendor able to offer this in a timely fashion.
Would also be interested in a complete drop-in package (including upgraded axles), pending price.
There is a guy in Houston who makes the 8.8"" bracket kit. Perhaps he can do an all in one bracket with axles and driveshaft.
Or offer it with different options.
There are a few guys running his bracket kit.
I got lucky a few years back and got Andy's bracket kit only then custom modified it to fot my 535. Then had to machine my spindles for the DSS axles.
A 31 spline diff is plenty for the power 99.5% of the guys make.

We have discussed that there is definitely an option to buy the brackets, the main goal here it to come up with a full swap kit that’s is essentially bolt on. No cutting and measuring on the consumer end. Diff, axles, and drive shaft included. If you are making lots of pony power and are planning an lsd, it totally makes sense to go 8.8. So why not give people the option that don’t wanna deal with Andy.
Will they make the driveshafts different lengths for the appropriate N54 and N55 manual transmissions?
And I was interested until I saw the prices on their website. Way to much $$ for me, 6k+? Pheeeeeeeeew
Edit: Just realized this post was old, my bad.

slg's kit is another "complete" and expensive option: https://www.seemslegitgarage.com/product-page/E8xE9xFord88KitBundle
stock exhaust modifications are required (need to drop under axles and driveshaft)
