So I have a 93 ranger with 6 over d35 ttbs puts the front end right at 86 inches outside tire to outside tire at the moment there is a factory width 8.8 with 4.88s lsd 28 spline axles makes the truck look funky and handle weird at speed in ruts. Now I've been trying to find a gear company that offers a 4.88 in a 9in but they all make 4.86 I know it's a small difference but when you are going 50+ through silt in 4x4 that will cause issues a lot of people say run it but I'm not comfortable doing that. My idea is to take my 8.8 drill the plugs for the axle tubes have some 3in .250 wall Dom turned down just enough to be a press fit into the cast center section buy ford 9in big bearing ends from Currie for 3in od tube slide those over weld it all together buy a spool and 35 spline axles and be done. Question is with machining those tubes down and the ends being for 3in od tube that should all line up straight on its on because of the tolerances correct. Reason I ask is there is nobody local to me that can align a rear axle.
