That looks like an 8.8 case. Be aware that the open 8.8 case is really weak. The Aussie will add a lot of traction but the 8.8 cases are much weaker than many other stock open diffs.

Yeah.. I know.. I went back and forth about it... but I don't have the budget for a Detroit right now, and I'm only on 34" LTBs...

I know Another guy with a BII that has a lockrite in his 8.8 and he pounds on his with 33x12.50s and hasn't had any issues, so I hope I also have good luck.

I figure when I'm ready to step up I'll probably run the super 8.8 kit and a full spool.
 
Nice :awesomework:


How much is a full spool for it? I wouldn't run nothing less then a full spool when you decide to upgrade again.
 
If cheap is the goal then spool it or weld it. But a spooled rear turns much worse than a Detroit or Aussie(or similar).

Right now, it's a dual purpose rig. The older rear end was welded... I didn't much like it. I only plan on spooling it now when it goes to trailer queen status.

Full spools are about $170.

The ford trac lock carrier is even weaker than the open carrier, and it's design makes it a PITA to weld up.
