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.

Thanks guys. I'm picking up the rear end tomorrow after I meet Doug in the ATL

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.

Will, sorry I did not reply. Went to the super chevy show. Obviously we've talked since then. Sounds like you got a load today! Gotta post up some pics man!

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 :D
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.

Cool, sounds good. I got excited thinking it might have an electric locker :P I know that a few explorers go them. It's definitely got the limited slip cause both axle turned forward when turning the driveshaft yoke. I haven't looked inside it yet though. That will come in the morning as well as picks of everything. Well everything is falling into place. I'm gonna cut that truss for the dana 44 a little and just weld it on, and I'm gonna make the spring perches, shock and lower control arm mounts out of 3/16"s. Any problem with going ahead and welding the tubes to the pumpkin? Thanks to everybody for hooking me up with parts!
Pics in the morning! ;)

Before you weld the tubes to the center section, pull the carrier, shafts, etc so the heat doesnt kill the bearings and seals. Also, spot weld it back and forth from one side to the other with cool down periods before your final lap weld to reduce the chances of warping. Tig it if you can.

Preciate the tips. My boss is certified, I'm gonna make him do that. I'd burn it all up. :D I'll just tack the brackets on too and let him finish 'em up.
