OK you said it is a "ford unit" already set up... is it out of a Ranger, and is it out of a 4.0 motor ranger.Mine is an '04 Edge, tag on the door says it's an 8.8 [per code], and he says it's out of an '02 Ranger, so, it looks like it's ago?Don't worry about what I might know, I forget a lot of things!!!!
With few exceptions, the 4.0 rangers had a 8.8 rear gear, the 3.0/2.5 had a 7.5. The 8.8 in the rangers was a 28 spline axle. If the 8.8 isn't out of a Ranger it is probably for 31 spline axles. The only Rangers with 31 spline axles were the 99 + 4.56 geared rear ends.
So if the LSD is out of an expo, F150 or Mustang the guts are set up for 31 spline and your axles will not fit.
Sorry if you already knew this no telling what someone knows.
