I was browsing around CJPonyParts looking to rebuild my 8" and didn't see very many 8" parts but they had a listing for 8"/9" axles so does that mean that axles and lockers for a 9" can be used in a 8"?

I bought my from CJ Pony Parts and they fit just fine. If you haven't already, its a lot easier if you take the headlight bucket off.

I will be getting reverse eye leaf springs and just wondering if there is a real ride difference between manufactures?

If anyone else is curious about this swap I found this link with a bunch of useful information. Turns out that a 86-93 8.8 is .25" wider than the 69 9" and the center section is equal in the center of the housing unlike the Explorer 8.8 so there is no pinion angle. http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles/116_ford_8_8_rear_end/viewall.html

I've heard the 8.8 are just as strong as a 9" is not stronger? Plus it is allot cheaper to get an 8.8 compared to a 9". I can get an 8.8 with disc brakes, 31 spline, limited slip posi trac, and 3.73 gears for just under $200 from pick and pull. As to where the cheapest 9" I could find with those same options is around $800-900.

Thats right, my mistake. I do believe the the 79-93 Fox already have spring perches welded on not sure if they are in the proper locations though.

So I am getting rid of my old banged up 8" and am looking to replace it with a 8.8. Couple questions I have is what years should I be looking for Ive heard that 79-93 Fox 8.8 are the exact size as the 69 which is 59.25 I have also of people using a 94-98 Explorer 8.8. Also I know that the spring perches will have to be modified to be used under a 69 but will the spring perches the TCP work with an 8.8 here is a link to them.http://www.totalcontrolproducts.com/leafspringplate.html

I know this as old post but I finally got around to tackling the front suspension this week. I just wanted to say thanks to Maxum for recommending that Chassis Saver. It was really easy to paint with and I like the outcome of it.

Would you want to sell it without the compressor?

Unless you were going to do the sheet metal work to the bottom of the door shell your self, I would think that buying repops from Dynacorn would be a cheaper route. I just re skinned both my doors a couple months ago with skins from CJ and fitment isn't that great, I spent a good part of 2 hours to get the driver side door to fit half way decent and the passenger side door is a mess I dont know what I am going to do with it atm.

Could you PM me a price for both pedals? Thanks man.

Correct mine is currently an auto with manual brakes so I need to add the clutch pedal and a power brake. I believe the 70 is different from the 69 if I remember correctly? Mine is a 69. How much would you be looking to get for it? Maybe I can just take the clutch pedal and brake pedal from yours and put it on my 69 assy?

I was wonder if switching the pedal out my manual brake pedal assembly and just putting in the power brake pedal was all I needed to do or if there was more to it then just switching pedals. Also I am adding a clutch pedal to my assembly so does anyone know where they sell the manual power brake pedal as well as the clutch pedal? Thanks.

Does is have a in tank fuel pump? Pics possibly?

Lol I think im OK. I got guy who will buy mine for $200, the bearings need re-packed but thats about it.
