Due to the configuration of the ring and pinion on the 8.8 you can get 3.55's 3.73's or 4.10's for the ballpark ratios your looking for. I know the dana 44 ifs has a 4.09 optional ratio(which i'm looking for if anyone has a good set) but not sure about the other ratios.

I know you can get 3.73 for the Dana44. Just remember if you get 3.73 you can keep the stock carrier. If you go with anything higher than 3.73 the stock carrier must be replaced too.

Get 3.73 or 4.10s front and rear, those are the only two available. For the rear, I'd recommend ford racing gears from summitracing.com at a hair under 200 bucks.


Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds .

Check out my Gallery for a look-see.

Then theres:
99' Mustang GT 4.6L
88' F-250 Heavyduty 4x4 351/c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 with a
3 spd column shifter. Weighs around 7,000lbs w. 65mph top speed, who wants to race me!
