47-55.1 Rear suspension suggestions

[NorCalGal]

I have a 8.8 out of a 98 explorer with disc brakes and 373 limited slip. I did have to put mini tubs to clear the bedside the tires just barley touched or you could probably get wheels with a different off set to fix the problem. The pumpkin is off set to the passenger side but that’s not an issue.

I have the exact same set up and used Hot Rod Hanks 8x15” artillery wheels.

Had to use 1” spacers on each side to center the wheel in the wells as i did not want to modifay the bed. Used billet concentric spacers and with the 235 not worried.

Used a TCI parabolic Springs set up that centered the axle in the opening
