Explorer 8.8

Well I ordered this crossmember from GMSS

This will give me the most possible amount of clearance.

Unfortunately I won't know how this all works until after paint, when I can get the engine/trans in.

I like using the Explorer rear ends for a few reasons:

1: For $300 you get disc brakes, 3:73 gears and LSD.

2: Since they are narrower I get more options for wheel offset and width. I use wheel spacers to dial in exactly where I went the wheels set. I know some people aren't fans of spacers but I get them custom made so they are hub & lug centric for the axle and hub centric for the wheel side. I've put thousands of miles on my 51 without any issues.
