Guide to Setting Pinion Angle

As far as the spring perch put the axle in place under the truck withthe spring perch in place but not welded. Bolt up the u bolts snug not necessarily tight. Set the truck down on its own weight and check angles, adjust as needed. Weld perches. At least that would be my stab at it if I were to do it.

 

As for "check angles" here's what to look for. Note that it depends upon the kind of rear suspension you have.

 

I got an 8.8 from a 97 explorer with d4 code so it's 3.73 trac lock believe

 

Take a look at this: Ford 9" disc brakes for under $100 - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

 

To late I got one already

 

I believe that you may also have to add an adjustable brake proportioning valve to any swap.

 

 

$65 for it, no disks or calipers or pads. They wanted an additional $90 for them and the rotors and pads were 100% garbage and the calipers were questionable so I left all that there and I'll just buy new and pay the core charge

 

Is this one good for me? Any other proportioning valve suggestions? Thanks

That one looks nice ok may go with it, I don't know how to adjust it properly though

 

It comes with instructions on adjustment.

 

Can I get and install that now to get it over with before I swap the rear? Like will it also work with the drums? Thanks

 

I'm running it with my drums no issue.

 

Ok thanks allot i think I'm going to order it
