This heavy duty 1\/4\" truss is designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your entire axle. The accompanying brackets provide the OEM coil, anti-sway bar, lower control arm and shock locations, but triangulate the upper control arms which eliminates the need for a tracbar. He also offer this kit with a HIGH CLEARANCE option that raises the LCA and shock brackets above the bottom of the axle tube.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"productDetail\" id=\"ctl00_cphMain_ctl00_lbProductDetail\"\u003eThe Ford Explorer 8.8 features: same lug nut bolt pattern as dana 35, 3-1\/4\" diameter tubes as compared to 2.625\" dana 35, disc brakes (1995 \u0026amp; newer), 31 spline axle shafts, 8.8\" diameter ring gear which 120% stronger than dana 35, only 20 pounds more than dana 35, and a trac-loc differential stock.
