Ford Exploder 8.8 rear axle....

Summit sells gears for the 7 1/4. I want the 8.8 for the strength and the limited slip feature. Around here, there are no pick and pulls and the ones up around Atlanta all want 300 plus. Screw that. I can spend less and have this 9" where I need it. Which is probably what's gonna happen.

Have you looked at craiglist for people parting out exploders?
