There was one on NAXJA that had what you were looking but I dunno if it still for sale.

EDIT: Jimmy beat me too it.

Will, I was thinking about how you are going to fix that D44 part on your new lift to work with an 8.8 and found this at Ruff Stuff Specialties. http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/dana-44-differential-ring-p-36.html Thats for a d44, but he sells an 8.8 diff cover http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/ford-88-differential-cover-p-180.html so you could call him up and see if he'd sell you just the ring.

cool, I'm looking. Actually.... I think I might know of a Rubi front 44 with 4.56s... they might be 4.88s. Let me check in the morning and see how low he will go.

10-4. I hope the 8.8 works out for you, does it have discs?

Yeah it's out of a 2001 Mountaineer. He said it has all the factory hardware and bracketry on it. limited slip and 3.73s. Sounds good to me. I'll give it a really good look down before I throw it on the truck bed. Thanks again Jimmy. I'll post up some picks tomorrow when I get back. hey Ben, what are you doing tomorrow? I should be passing through Winder around 4 or so.

Yep, picked up a lot of stuff today. Got the 8.8 LSD, Warn front bumper from Doug, and the Rock Krawler X-factor suspension with 3 link rear.  ;D

I couldn't have picked up that lift without some more help from Doug. Thanks again man! Karma, karma, karma 

And karma for Jimmy too for hooking me up with the axle!    which is in great shape. One question about th 8.8... What are the wires going into the differential on the top/back of the housing? It came out of a 2001 Mountaineer.

I believe that is for the ABS.  You wont need it.  Just unplug the plug and leave the one part in the diff.
