Axle Saddles for 3.25" Tube (ford 8.8)

These came from ECE and I sanded them down to fit a ford 8.8 but ended up doing a 4 link. $20 shipped..

I'm interested in these-do these make a 8.8 fit onto a swingarm? Do you have the panhard bar mount also?

These will make a 8.8 fit the factory trailing arms. You can get a weld on panhard bar mount from *****************

You can take a die grinder to open them up to fit the tube. Pick up a track bar from ECE and your in business

Die grinder and belt sander.. they arn't perfect but they will get the job done and you can't buy them anywhere else.
