Axle Swap
Posted: Wed May 09, 2007 8:13 am
Hey guys I'm looking to give my '88 Bronco II a nice 6" suspension lift. I would like to know of anyone who has a 6" suspension lift and what size tires and the name of the axles you swapped.
Also, were the axles you swapped with bolt in or did you have to drill, weld, or modify some other way? I really want to swap to an axle that will bolt straight up in without any modification.
Also I realize that if I swap my rear axle to a lower ratio for my larger tires, I will need to swap my front axle with an axle of the SAME ratio, correct? But what about spline count? Will the spline counts always be the same for every axle of the same ratio, or are there different number of splines in the same kind of axle? This is confusing me here with this spline count thingy...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
THANKS!
