Rear End Question??

I need to be completely sure what rear end is under my horse. I have this feeling after all my work I will not be happy without a detriot locker in the rear and a track loc in the front. I do know that I have a reverse cut Dana 44 in front. I think I have 3.55 posi out back with 32 spline in a 9 inch rear end.

Any help is good help thanks tons !!

Rear End Question??

I'm a little confused with your question. I think your asking what kind of axle you have under your Bronco. Then you state you have a 9" rear end. So what exactly is the question. Could you please explain. Thank You!!!

Oh, you have a 8.8" rear end with 3.55 gears. your front end is a dana44 with 3.54 gears. For me to tell you if you have open or Trak-Lok diffs, I need the axle code which is on the door <a href="http://www.motorhaven.com/">sticker</a> of your Bronco!!

Rear End Question??

It's 2 digits: if the first digit is "1", you have an open diff carrier; if it's "H", you have a limited slip. For 3.55 ratio, the second digit will be "9". "H8" is 3.08 L/S.
