Re: Another Ford 8.8 question
yes yes, I totally understand all of that, and that is why I am performing
this swap. But, I can't remember, is the 8.8 a 5 on 4 1/2? Its just the
fact that there was a kit, and installing it actually added length, which
made it the same as the factory jeep. Not that 1/2" is anything to cry about,
just trying to remember what the dang kit was all about.
