Why Choose a Ford 8.8 Swap?

The Ford 8.8 differential is the go-to choice for racers thanks to its proven strength, wide availability of parts, and lightweight aluminum housing. Offering a broad range of LSD and gear ratio options, it’s the ideal upgrade for high-performance builds. Unlike factory differentials, which are often expensive to upgrade with limited-slip options that don't address core weaknesses, this kit targets the true weak point—the pinion—to ensure your drivetrain can handle whatever power you throw at it.

 

Axles:

Our custom axles feature billet, heat-treated, and e-coated inner and outer stubs, built for maximum strength and endurance. These axles have been tested to handle extreme stress, whether on the street, strip, or track.  For those looking for even more axle clearance, we offer suggested sway bar links available [HERE].

 

Outlaw Upgrade:

Want to take durability to the next level? Upgrade to our Outlaw axles, featuring the industry’s strongest CV joints and enhanced billet internals with an even stronger alloy. Each CV joint undergoes an isotropic surface finish for a mirror-smooth surface, reducing friction, heat, and wear while improving grease migration. Paired with premium ARP fasteners, the Outlaw upgrade ensures that you have the strongest axle assembly on the market.

 

Gear Ratio Recommendations:

  • Manual transmissions: We recommend a 3.31 gear ratio 
  • 8HP Automatic transmissions: A 3.08 gear ratio 

 

Keep in mind, higher gear ratios will give you faster acceleration but reduce top speed per gear.
