About:

The kit uses a 2006 to 2010 Ford Explorer/Mountaineer IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) 8.8" differential. The Ford 8.8 differential is famous for being way ahead of its time. It is light weight, about 15lbs less than the iron BMW M differentials. It's aftermarket parts selection is also massive, a huge contrast to the few options available for BMW differentials. It's the most popular differential to swap into a variety of cars for good reason. A huge selection of gears, limited slip gear carriers and rebuild kits are available from all the popular sources like Summit Racing, JEGS and even your local parts store. 

 

Subframe:
The steel subframe is CNC bent and laser cut,  then TIG welded, and powdercoated. It is proudly designed and manufactured in the USA by Fresh Produce Mfg. for us. It has full camber and toe adjustability via OEM style cam bolts. It was created by the team with CAD software and models of both the chassis and differential to achieve the perfect fit. Uses the identical positions for all suspension pick-up points as OEM. Rear diff mount plate is included, this is to be welded to your chassis. 

 

Axles:

To be certain the power makes it to the ground, we created an axle package that is as indestructible as the Ford 8.8.  Our axles hold many records, and we trust them to be the strongest on the market. We tested and produced an ABS trigger wheel which makes everything perform like factory. Included is a billet inner stub that slides into any 31 spline Ford 8.8 differential.

 

Outlaw Upgrade:

Want even more performance? Our upgraded "Outlaw" units are the ultimate axles on the market and feature an upgraded alloy in the billet internals. Each CV also receives an isotropic surface finish for a mirror-like result. The surface finishing provides smoother operation for the CV joint which dramatically reduces friction, heat and premature wear while aiding in grease migration. In addition, each Outlaw axle uses premium ARP fasteners for the industry’s strongest axle assembly. 

 

Exotic Stub Upgrade:

These new outer stubs from Gforce are made of an even stronger material than the 300M material used in the standard axles. The outer stub goes through a tremendous shock load during launch and can be damaged by wheel hop. This upgraded alloy further increases strength so you can do the most insane launches ever and not worry about failure.
