![]() If you buy the axles new don't forget to get new studs for the axles, you'll need longer studs anyways to run slicks legally at Moroso. The other thing you'll need is a new differential for the rear. I just went with a factory Ford 31 spline Trac Lock from a Lightning.

![]() The 31 trac lock for 8.8 is a new differential.
Honestly you maybe okay running on slicks a few times without any problems. My differential went after 450+ passes at the track and about 150 of them on slicks with 6K RPM launches so it definitely held up to some serious abuse. Bill |
