    My bronco, $500. Its listed in my for sale thread. I'm pretty sure it will be wider than an explorer 8.8, so endless your going full width in the front it might not be a good idea.

    I would say a stock ford explorer 8.8 axle is worth $50 to $100. The 4.10 gears are probably another $200. The detroit locker is another $300 atleast. So I would say if that is the axle with the gearing you want then, it could be worth $500. I would think $800 would be high.

    Do you already have 4.10's?

    Meet the on-line junkyard search engine. Looks like you can get one with 4.10 ratio for about $150. 3.73 down to $75.
