I’m sure this topic has been dug 25’ into the ground but I am just beginning the process of getting my 8.8 ready to put in my dart. My stock 7-1/4 is measuring out at 51” flange to flange. My 8.8 is measuring out at 54” flange to flange. I’m trying to run a ten inch rear wheel without...

I’m gonna be running 18x10 with 1.1” offset, 285/35/18s. Looking at getting the mini tubs, relocation kit, subframe connectors and torque boxes from US Car Tool. I know that end to end the 8.8 is 56 with even axle length. Taking it to LP Racing in california to have the 9 inch ends put on soon

So I went and measured the 8.8 I have from flange to flange and added an inch to either end. Stock uncut, my rear end is 56” on the dot. Gonna have the 9 inch ends welded on and then it’s just a matter of how far I’ll have to move the springs inward. 10 inch wheel seems like it won’t fit the...

I have my wheels. Just need to get tires. Also not yet ready to start fitting everything. Just wanted to get some ideas of measurements

I’m gonna be running a 9 inch set up for my rear end. 9 inch axle ends. Gonna take the rear end to a fab shop. Car doesn’t move for now so I’m trying to get measurements to the fab shop. Gonna go try my hand at measuring.

I’m trying to figure out how much I need to shorten if I have too at all. This does help a bit as now I can figure out what I have

Can someone please post flange to flange measurements on their 8.8 swap? My understanding is that Mopar rear ends for the Dart never exceeded 51.6' flange to flange. I have an 8.8 that I'm putting 9" axle ends on and Im curious what flange to flange measurements will fit. I already have 10 inch...

I should be more than okay with the wheel tubs as they are as my wheel is only a 10” and I don’t plan on running anything wider for now. But I know if I wanted to go larger I would have to mini tub

Unfortunately the cable didn’t work out for me but it did give me the ability to drill the hole and measure the bend for my new cable! Thank you!

I don’t think ill need to mini tub due to only running a 10 inch rear wheel and tire. I’m looking more to autocross and canyon run this car rather than drag race it. I looked at car tool and that looks like the company ill be buying from. I think ill buy the chassis reinforcement kit level 2 so...

im sure this thread has been created before but I couldn’t find it. I have a 69 Dart with stock spring location. I’m putting a Ford 9 inch built rear end in my car and I want to move my rear springs inward. Is there a kit that does this? Is there anything I should be worrying about when it comes...

Mine is a factory style wiring set up so hopefully I won’t have any issues!

hello! I recently purchased a new shifter that has a built in neutral safety switch and reverse light switch. I have a TF 727 with the 3 pin neutral safety switch on it. Do I need to still wire up my shifters switches? Or will the transmission do all the work for me? Thank you in advance for...

I figured I might need a slightly longer one.

I’ve got a 5ft cable to go front exit to trans. Will I need longer? I’m guessing I probably need a 6ft or so? Also I have a TCI bracket but it seems a little high up for the lever. I know the linkage is supposed to basically straight
