I know this isn’t groundbreaking stuff but posting this here because this is exactly what I was looking for when I first thought about this swap. Third gen F body guys this is how I swapped an 8.8 into my Camaro. I had roughly $1000 (much much cheaper than pre fabbed setup) into building the rear end, and that included paying someone $400 to do the actual cutting and welding, $250 for brand new 90-92 28 spline axle shafts, and $100 for a kit to replace the factory drum brakes. I did not have the proper tools or feel comfortable cutting the rear ends and welding them together while keeping them straight. So if you have the tools and ability to do this, and find some 90-92 axles on the cheap, this can be done significantly cheaper. I wanted to keep factory width and wheels and didn’t feel like making coil brackets and such. Also wanted parts I could get from a parts store literally anywhere as opposed to custom as I plan to road trip the car on stuff like power tour. That being said at the time I built this I didn’t know that I could’ve gotten 31 spline axles from Dutchmen Axle for close to the same price I paid for the stock 28 spline but it’s done now and in use now. Those would have worked with a 31 spline Explorer rear end as opposed to the 28 spline Ranger rear I used. Will update when it breaks
