If your knowledge was half as big as your ego you might know something. If the OP has a 02 with 4 inch lift and 33's, I would suggest a 4.56 if you have a stick which would be a NV3550 and it would play well together. One thing you would do well to consider in that the rear axle for a Ford explorer built from about 95 to 2002 is a darn near bolt in and it is considerably stronger than your D35. The ford 8.8 has no carrier break so the money you save on not buying a carrier could go for axle and you might get lucky to and find a exploer 8.8 with a 4.1 in it if you stick with that gear and get a much stronger rear axle. I am not a ford fan but the 8.8 is a pretty good rear end for what it is and a lot better than a D35 and arguably better than a D44 too. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

If your knowledge was half as big as your ego you might know something. If the OP has a 02 with 4 inch lift and 33's, I would suggest a 4.56 if you have a stick which would be a NV3550 and it would play well together. One thing you would do well to consider in that the rear axle for a Ford explorer built from about 95 to 2002 is a darn near bolt in and it is considerably stronger than your D35. The ford 8.8 has no carrier break so the money you save on not buying a carrier could go for axle and you might get lucky to and find a exploer 8.8 with a 4.1 in it if you stick with that gear and get a much stronger rear axle. I am not a ford fan but the 8.8 is a pretty good rear end for what it is and a lot better than a D35 and arguably better than a D44 too. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

I would hate to spend the money, even >though I would just do the rear at first, only to find out it really didn't The max with current carrier in front is 3.54, in rear it is a 3.31 so you are stuck with a 3.31 which is not worth effort. If you want to pinch pennies try a ford 8.8 out of a 95 to 02 explorer in a 3.54 as it is darn near a bolt in and a lot stronger and regear front to 3.54. It would be marginal but a lot better than what you have now. If you are consider a axle swap, I would swap to something stronger than a 35 in rear be it a D44 or ford 8.8 and I would not swap in a new 35 for 33's or bigger tires "IF" you are going to swap the whole axle out. BTW as I mentioned in a earlier post the ford 8.8 has no carrier break and has a 1.3 inch bigger diameter ring gear than a 35 and can go as low as a 6.14 (not that you want to) ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |
