    Hey Guys, I put together an 8.8 from a 92 stang. Consisted of the 92 housing, FRPP 31 spline axles, and a 31 spline Trac-loc carrier from an explorer (early 90s). Is there anyway for this combo to work. It all fits together but the exploder carrier is wider, the axles stick in quite far...

    Going to 3.89 gears..speedo gear?
