I hope this pic isn't to big. I never can post pic right. I'm running an 8.8 from a 96 Explorer. 29 by 10.5 inch tires. I don't remember the backspacing. I have about 1/2 inch between tire and bed.

Did you mount your axle below your springs or above?

John That is what I have been struggling with. One way seems to low and the other seems to high. Still kicking ideas around but for now I will mount it under the axle.
