8.8 swap into 48 p15

Recommended Posts

So I went out and acquired an 8.8 rear axle out of an 02 explorer sport. 3.55 gears and disc brakes. Upon preliminary measurements the spring width and frame width is 48.25". The distance between the calipers, especially the banjo bolts, is a bit under 47".

According you public school math that means a portion of the calipers will be inside between the frame and spring.

My question has to do with lowering the rear. Goal is somewhere in the 2-3" range. Who has done this swap and are there any interference issues with range of spring travel between caliper and frame with this drop. 

Thanks.

Dave
