Began thinking of this when obsessing over my soon to be '93 Town Car last Friday.... Why not run 31 spline parts in our 8.8 carriers? 28 spline TracLoks and 3.27 or numerically higher final drives are getting hard to find and 31 spline stuff is sturdier if you go with Ford Racing branded stuff from what I recall. So why not just buy new Ford Racing 3.27+ gears + Ford Racing TracLok:

All we would need are custom 31 spline axles. Because the 28 spline related parts in Ebyt and the 31 spline related parts I linked both share the 8.8 carrier. The only missing link is the axles. So let's hear it guys, who do we go to for those new axles? Moser? Strange Engineering? I'm assuming we just ask them to make new 31 spline axles for a '92-'97 model year panther with the 8.8 carrier (and disc brake rear end just to be sure)? I'm assuming the crush sleeve eliminator would also work without changes because it's 8.8 carrier specific, I don't think it cares how many splines our axles, TracLok, and final drive have. Thanks for any help in advance- I would like to have this stuff figured out before I get into Katrina's and Eva's builds, not after. Plus I'm sure others of us are looking to for an easier drop-in rear end upgrade too!
