Just like my lack of a steering stabilizer (going on 7 years now) is
going to put me, my family, the surrounding neighborhood, and most of
the continental United States in the grave.
Sometimes you are such a buffoon you defy description. It's no wonder
this group is filling with trolls hounding you and you are 10 times
worse than they are with your ridiculous C&P.
The cure is indeed worse than the disease.

The only kit I have heard of that extends axle lenght a bit without
spacers is the Warn full floating hub kit for the D30 front axle.
Maybe a similar kit is made to convert the Ford 8.8 to full floating
axles and makes it a bit wider as well. Good luck with your search.

Re: Another Ford 8.8 question
The only kit I have heard of is the one to change the spring perches
over to Jeep YJ ones but you will need that kit no matter what you swap
in there. They sell bolt on or weld on kits. If I was going to lift in
the future, I would use the bolt on ones to get the pinion right, then
weld it in the final incarnation. Even the CJ7 Dana 44 like in mine
would need new perches welded on to fit a YJ spring pack.
Going wider on the axles with spacers or weird wheels is hard on
bearings, they will wear fast.
