What's up guys? I am thinking about getting 31 spline moser axels,I would like to run slicks... do I need a 31 spline posi with this set up? Is it benificial, necessary? Could someone explain this to me so I can understand what I need...also is the install pretty straight foward, I have installed everything on my car so far except 3:73's, have alot of tools and like to think I am pretty mechanically inclined, thanks for your help!

you'll need the 31 spline differential to match up with the axles. i've never doen the install myself, but i have installed gears and I don't think it would be too hard to do.
it's a little easier to do than a gear swap since you don't have to mess with the pinion or setting pinion depth.
hardest part of this job is shimming the traction-lok clutches.

+1 . Also, you should get a better differential as opposed to the FRPP 8.8 . Possibly a Detroit locker or Eaton. Might as well do it now if you have the cash.

read up on the diffs. I got many varring opinions when I did mine.
eatons can break, lockers are noisy
I ended up just getting the 31 spline trac lok.
they make two models. the m-4204-318 and the m-4204-318c. the later having carbon fiber cluthes.
I got the m-4204-318 for $194 from summit the carbon fiber model was $305 or so. you could also get a used on off ebay and rebuild it.
install is a snap really just make sure you get a shim kit and just set the backlash. you will have to remove the tone rings from the old axles if you have abs. the mosers run a bit larger than the ford axels on the machined surface for the tone ring. so I would get the FRPP axels if I were doing it over again. it was a pain to get the tone rings on the mosers. the FRPP models are $25 cheaper as well. they were on back order at the time so I go the moser.
