Arnt those Currie High 9's only rated to 35'' tires? I seem to recall them using a 8.8'' gearset too.

It uses a ford IFS 8.8 front ring gear.

Looks like you are workin on a 3 link front....... Did you shave that 9 before adding all that plate? Not bad, would like to know how that Zip locker works out!!

Well I don't plan on running anything bigger then 35s so it should be fine and ya I putthat plate on there I think it will do some good

He has no worries with that High9 and 35's, he could go a bit bigger with little worry, especially if running Chromo's!

Very nice looking axle housings. Definitely post-up after you get some trail time on the Zip-Locker, let us know what you think of it.

Oh trust me I will after reading all the post on it if it turns out to be junk ill swap it out with a arb I'm always willing to give a new product a chance

Is the IFS 8.8 gear any different then a normal 8.8, or is it just because it is a HP gearset?

The worry isnt the shafts, but the R&P.


Personally I would do a Hi9. Its only $1200(Give or take a couple hundred). :gee:

I think it is because it is HP.

IF my memory serves me correct the IFS Ford 8.8 is a High pinion Reverse Cut gear. And the gear is thinner than a normal 8.8 ring gear. The IFS version comes close in rating to a standard 8.8 ring gear and that is pretty much 35s depending on rig and wheel weight.

Either way, nice shinny pretty new parts. /jealous
